Question: Who is your favouite scientist?

Hugh Birkmyre answered on 10 Oct 2022:

That’s very difficult to answer. Every scientist builds on what people before them have done, no-one invents something from nothing. As a short list, Alexander Fleming, Albert Einstein, Copernicus, Galileo, Kepler, Rosalind Franklin, Jack Kilby, Richard Feynman, Isaac Newton, Edward Jenner, Jonas Salk, or Norman Borlaug.
