Robert Boyle – The Father of Modern Chemistry Robert Boyle was an outstanding philosopher and writer of the seventeenth century. Born, on January 25, 1627, he grew up in the Lismore Castle, owned by his famous and wealthy father the Great Earl of Cork. Growing up in Ireland, he was educated initially by those in the castle until he was old enough to attend Eton college in Windsor, England. Upon completing his schooling in Windsor, Boyle traveled to France, Switzerland, and Italy to enhance his knowledge of chemistry and literature. In 1644, Boyle returned to England and settled down on the estate his father left him. Boyle, by now an accomplished an intelligent graduate, embarked upon his first official research projects at Lismore Castle, in Ireland. In 1645, Boyle started his first project on Aretalogy, a comprehensive analysis of ethical elements. He attempted to explain the need for a virtuous life, considering that we are all mortal and will eventually die. Experimenting with other writings, Boyle sculpted religious reflections, imaginary lives, and fictional speeches and letters to advance the laws of moral conduct that others should follow. An example of one of his famous writings that follows his studies would be Seraphic Love, a book revealing spiritual power and a pathway to God. Following his early achievements and the publication of his book, Boyle

Humphry Davy was born on December 17th of 1778 in penzance, cornwall.

He also became freinds with a man named Davies Gilbert he lived with Davy as a lodger and played a major role of influence in davy’s science studies.

On June 3, 1726, James Hutton was born to a family of merchants. Although his father died when he was only three, Hutton had a pretty nice childhood, because his dad provided very well for his children in his will. As a young man, Hutton developed a strong interest in chemistry and wanted to study medicine (which at the time was the only way to receive more knowledge about chemistry). However, his friends convinced him not to do that, and he got a law apprenticeship. After moving to Paris for a short period of time, he transferred to the University of Leiden,
I chose Louis Pasteur as my chemist. Pasteur was born on December 27, 1822 and died on September 28, 1895. Louis was born in Dole, France. Louis Pasteur worked at the University of Strasbourg, and began to study about fermentation and he believed it was carried out by living microorganisms. Louis Pasteur suffered from a stroke that left him partially paralyzed. Louis also discovered his first vaccine for a disease called chicken cholera in 1879. Louis Pasteur discovered many things relating to chemistry, one being proving that various disease in the human body were caused by micro-organisms that multiply the body, another being; the discovery of the rabies vaccine. The last contribution that Louis Pasteur made in relation to chemistry was
