/Home/People & Places/Biographies/Scientists/Specific Scientists A Science Odyssey: People and Discoveries: Rachel Carson Votes:0 --> Rachel Carson 1907 - 1964 Rachel Carson grew up on a small Pennsylvania farm, where she spent hours exploring the outdoors. She always loved books, and when she was young thought she would be a writer. Her first publication was at age 10, in a children's magazine. She went to the Pennsylvania College for Women. A required course in biology made her change assumptions about her career: She majored in zoology, and then went to Johns Hopkins for a masters degree in genetics. After completing her degrees in 1932, she wrote science articles for newspapers and worked at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute. After her father's sudden death in 1935, she needed to find more regular work to help support her family. She was hired by the Bureau of Fisheries (later the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Serv Read More Go to Site A Tribute Votes:0 Dr. Archie Carr Upon Whose Shoulders We All Stand In the world of sea turtle research and conservation, it is Archie Carr who stands alone. He has been called the father of sea turtle research, and rightly so. Even beyond his field, his name is recognized for his commitment to the protection of these reptiles. When Dr. Carr died in 1987, sea turtles lost their greatest champion and friend. Sea turtles held a fascination for Archie Carr throughout his entire life. He was a Biology professor at the University of Florida, the author of numerous papers and books, a lecturer, and an expert on sea turtles, especially the green turtle.

The family name is a latinised version of the name of the vicarage (HÖgen). His grandfathers were both professors in Uppsala: Magnus Celsius the mathematician and Anders Spole the astronomer. His father, Nils Celsius, was also professor in astronomy. Celsius, who was said to have been very talented in mathematics from an early age, was appointed professor of astronomy in 1730. He began his "grand tour", lasting for four years, in 1732, and he visited during these years almost all the notable european observatories of the day, where he worked with many of the leading 18th century astronomers.

His father and grandfather were former slaves. A farmer of modest means, Banneker nevertheless lived a life of unusual achievement. In 1753, the young man borrowed a pocket watch from a well-to-do neighbor; he took it apart and made a drawing of each component, then reassembled the watch and returned it, fully functioning, to its owner. From his drawings Banneker then proceeded to carve, out of wood, enlarged replicas of each part. Calculating the proper number of teeth for each gear and the necessary relationships between the gears, he constructe Read More Go to Site Einstein summary Votes:0 " +" " + mess + " Read More Go to Site Einstein-Image and Impact.

Darwin was educated at Shrewsbury school under Samuel Butler and in 1825 he entered Endinburgh University to prepare for the medical profession. In 1828 he entered Cambridge University in the hope of becoming a clergyman. He took his degree in 1831. From December 1831 to October 1836 he sailed in H.M.S. "Beagle" as a naturalist. He visited many places including the Atlantic islands, South American Coast, Tahiti, Australia, New Zealand and other islands. He also visited Brazil.

Votes:0 Hippocrates 460-375 B.C. H ippocrates was born on the island of Cos in the Eastern Mediterranean about 460 B.C. He was taught the art of medicine by his grandfather and father who had practiced medicine before him. He traveled extensively in Greece. He was consulted by some of the principal rulers in southeastern Europe and in Asia Minor. He possibly lived until 85 years of age with the date of his death about 375 B.C. It is probable that the writings which are credited to Hippocrates were composed by several individuals of the same name. Sarton states that the scientific nature of the writings of Hippocrates is very outstanding due to the careful observations, moderate judgments, and love of truth. Furthermore, as far as could be done, superstitions and irrelevant philosophy were rejected Read More Go to Site Jonas Salk Interview -- Academy of Achievement Votes:0 '); if (showQT) { mediaWin.document.writeln(' '); mediaWin.document.writeln(' ' + mediaText); mediaWin.document.writeln(' '); mediaWin.document.writeln(' '); mediaWin.document.writeln(' '); mediaWin.document.writeln(' '); mediaWin.document.writeln(' Download '); } else { mediaWin.document.writeln(' QuickTime plugin is not installed '); } mediaWin.document.writeln(' Read More Go to Site Julian Barbour Votes:0 Home Ideas Books Papers Research Welcome to Julian Barbour’s web site This site introduces my work on the foundations of physics and as a popular-science writer.

In 1942, they set out for Los Alamos, NM, for him to work on the highly secret project to build an atomic bomb. During this time, Arline entered the hospital in Albuquerque because she was dying of tuberculosis. While Feynman was working in Los Alamos, it became clear that he was at the level with the intellectual giants of his day. In Los Alamos, he made the patent for an atomic submarine and a Read More Go to Site Stephen Hawking Votes:0 Welcome to Professor Stephen W. Hawking's web pages.
