7 great scientists who will inspire you to pursue a career in science
Albert Einstein - Born in Ulm, Germany, in 1879, Einstein was a precocious child. As a teenager, he wrote a paper on magnetic fields. He married twice, the second time to his first cousin, Elsa Löwenthal. The marriage lasted until her death in 1936.
Marie Curie - Born Maria Salomea Sklodowska in 1867 in Warsaw, Poland, she faced some daunting hurdles, both because of her gender and her family’s poverty, which stemmed from the political turmoil at the time.
Isaac Newton - Isaac Newton was born on Christmas Day, 1642. Never the humble sort, he would have found the date apt: The gift to humanity and science had arrived. A sickly infant, his mere survival was an achievement.
Charles Darwin - Charles Darwin would not have been anyone’s first guess for a revolutionary scientist, and one of the world's greatest scientists.
Nikola Tesla - Nikola Tesla grips his hat in his hand. He points his cane toward Niagara Falls and beckons bystanders to turn their gaze to the future.
Ada Lovelace - To say she was ahead of her time would be an understatement. Ada Lovelace earned her place in history as the first computer programmer — a full century before today’s computers emerged.
Rosalind Franklin - Rosalind Elsie Franklin was a British chemist and X-ray crystallographer whose work was central to the understanding of the molecular structures of DNA, RNA, viruses, coal, and graphite.
