Linus Pauling

Elie Wiesel, who was a Nobel-Prize winner who survived the Holocaust. He was born on September 30th, 1938 in Sighet Romania but sadly died July 2nd, 2016 at the age of 87. For many years he taught Judaic studies at a university and also served as a visiting scholar at Yale. Elie Wiesel became very famous for writing his books. He started to write because he wanted to write about how his experience was of the Holocaust. His father's liberal expression judaism and spiritual beliefs of his grandmother also influenced him. Loss of religious faith is what Elie based all his books on. The Holocaust made many lives stop believing the Jew religion but some continued (biography.com). Elie Wiesel influenced the society and promoted the understanding

In the medical field, there have been many achievements by both men and women. Whether it was developing, discovering, or being the first person to do something, they all shared an impact on the way the medical field is today. I researched Jonas Salk, the man who developed the Polio vaccine. I selected him because I believe he has one the of biggest impacts on the medical field today. In my opinion, without him, the Polio epidemic would still be killing many people, in not only the U.S., but around the world as well.

Born on May 19, 1939 in Minneapolis, Minnesota, Gary Paulsen has had a crazy life! He was raised by his grandmother because his father went to serve in the military and his mom worked in Chicago, Illinois. But, he lived in the Philippines from 1946-1949.

From the ancient Greeks to present day American scientists they have used the power of science to further the lives of all mankind. For thousands of years science has proved to make life easier and to further our own understandings of how the world works. Science has proven to improve our own well being through the enhancement medicines and the thorough knowledge of the human body. Diseases have been beaten back by the great efforts of science and human life extended to its limit. Many great people have and will contribute to the growth of science to increase the comfort and life of mankind not for selfish gain but for the knowledge of bettering the world.

He discovered it in 1948 when he was sitting at a conference at Oxford University. It is said that he, “had a sudden insight regarding the fundamental structure of proteins, an insight that had eluded him for more than a decade.” (http://lpi.oregonstate.edu/about/linus-pauling-biography). He was working with some paper that had happened to fold over at “sites where he knew from theoretical considerations that the chain could bend.” This is how he found the polypeptide chain which was formed from an abundance of abundant sequences of amino acids, which he had been studying for years at this

In the 1940s, Linus Pauling decided to assist the U.S.A in World War 2. Linus had many contributions in the WW2, but his most helpful contributions was a synthetic blood plasma, used when soldiers were wounded in combat, and this is still in use. Another contribution was his invention, the Oxygen detector which is used in planes and submarines to this day. Linus also invented the incubators, Used for premature births and Anesthetized patients about to undergo surgery. For all his help in the war, Linus received the presidential medal by Harry Truman. However, after the war, Linus learned about the nuke, he , along with other scientist, were against the nukes. Linus was also a main force in the Pugwash movement. For this, Linus was awarded

In 1962 Watson, Crick, and Wilkins jointly received the Nobel Prize in medical or physiology for the discovery of DNA in 1953. Rosalind Franklin was not honored for her part in the discovery of DNA because the Nobel Prize can only be shared by three. In my opinion everyone who contributed should be recognized for the

I believe Marie Curie has contributed more to society then Louis Pasteur because she discovered radium, was very determined, and installed x-rays machines in hospitals.

He was a hero as he rounded up the smartest and the bravest to bring forth some of the most ground-breaking technology of all time. What had begun as a

Charles Darwin, one of the largest known naturalists and evolutionary scientists to ever live. Darwin always had a devotion for science from a young age. Who would have thought that one man's passion would one day change the world through his various experiments and theories? Darwin expressed and shared these marvelous ideas with numerous books that are still relevant and ground breaking, even till this day.

Marie Curie fits the theme perfectly in another way, encounter. She had a troublesome time getting the education she needed, and even when she presented a reasonable hypothesis, it was all but brushed off because she was not respected. Curie also had an encounter with the Solvay conference, which was a gathering of some of the greatest minds at the time. One of the most important things Curie did was help during World War One by inventing and distributing portable x-ray machines to help aid soldiers.

“Satisfaction of one’s curiosity is one of the greatest sources of happiness” said famous chemist Linus Pauling. Pauling was born in Portland, Oregon, on February 28th, 1901. He is the son of Herman Henry William Pauling and Lucy Isabelle Pauling. Pauling moved four times in six years. He attended public school in the city Condon. He started growing a interest in science when he was 12 years old and first started to collect insects, then minerals. Pauling later graduated from Washington High in 1917. But there was a problem. He scheduled two classes at the same and by the time he realized he had to take them in a sequence it was too late. He then graduated without a diploma. Despite him not having a diploma, he was still accepted

Louis Pasteur was incredible! I had heard about him before, and knew that he had made advancements in the medical world, but before doing my research, I don't think I could have pin-pointed exactly what he did. He was responsible for many significant discoveries, but the one I have chosen to focus on is the study of bacteriology.

And Galileo is definitely one of those inspirational figures. He originally didn't want to be an astronomer he wanted to go to college for medicine. But when he went to college he found a interest in math and science. Then he went on to teach himself how to lens grind to make a telescope powerful enough to see into space. And he then discovered The rings of saturn, Callisto and Europa and more. All of his discoveries inspire me to be more like him.

Paul McCartney was born June 18, 1942, in Liverpool, England. His contribution in the Beatles in the 1960s helped pop music ascend from its origins in the entertainment business and morphed it into a highly respected creative commercial art form. He also remains as one of the most prominent solo performers of all time in terms of both recordings at his concerts and sales of his attendants.
