Question: Who is your favourite scientist

Classic biologist answer – I love Charles Darwin!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
He’s famous for “discovering” evolution – though actually he was just the first person to write about evolution by natural selection in a lot of detail.

But he’s my favourite because he got his ideas directly from what he observed in nature – and he changed what he believed based on the evidence. He was also really careful about collecting loads of examples to support his ideas. All really important traits of an excellent scientist =)
