AtomicMX Posted July 26, 2004 Share Posted July 26, 2004 If electronics is the case then i would choose Francisco Gonzales Camarena, the Color TV inventor.... Mexican by the way (filled with patriotism) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MolecularMan14 Posted July 26, 2004 Share Posted July 26, 2004 Einstein[u'] . Apart from his intelligence, his shaggy hair is indeed impressive. lol, I fully agree. He's one of my favorites, as well as Hawking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted July 27, 2004 Share Posted July 27, 2004 True. But considering I'm not doing an English degree, and rather a mathematics degree, the entire maths thing is a bit more of a problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MolecularMan14 Posted July 28, 2004 Share Posted July 28, 2004 my dad was good friends with Linus Pauling, I havnt heard much of his work, though, but I hear he was a good, guy. Full of "radical thought" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LucidDreamer Posted July 28, 2004 Share Posted July 28, 2004 "my dad was good friends with Linus Pauling" -- thats amazing Linus Pauling was truly an extraordinary man. He discovered the double-helix structure of proteins, helped us understand the chemical bond, discovered some of the beneficial properties of vitamin c, e and b, and he received two Nobel prizes. "Full of "radical thought" Yes he was. I think that is part of what makes a great scientist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MolecularMan14 Posted July 28, 2004 Share Posted July 28, 2004 Yea, my dad has told me great things about him, its unfortunate that I never got the chance to meet him, b/c Ive been told that I think much like he did (with radical thought) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sayonara Posted August 6, 2004 Share Posted August 6, 2004 I don't really have one to be honest. How have you guys chosen yours? What criteria do you use? Most interesting work, most intriguing mind, most entertaining writer...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jordan Posted August 6, 2004 Share Posted August 6, 2004 I betting it's based on one of two things: 1) Showing off knowledge of a lesser-known scientist and his works or 2) Picking the scientist who has made the greatest advances in the field that you find the most interesting.

LucidDreamer Posted August 6, 2004 Share Posted August 6, 2004 I didn't really choose mine based upon any set of criteria; it was just a choice of two scientists that made an impact on me. I'm into biochemistry so Linus Pauling was an easy choice for me because of his early work in chemistry and his amazing contributions in biochem. His work with proteins and his many contributions in my field have influenced me and anyone else interested in the chemistry of living things. I chose Leonardo Da Vinchi because he was simply one of the most brilliant men who ever lived. He was studying and uncovering the secrets of life at a time when man was almost completely in the dark when it came to understanding how life worked.
