John Dalton
b. 9-6-1766; Cumbria, England
d. 7-27-1844
John Dalton, chemist and physicist, is best known for his advocacy of the atomic theory, his research into colour blindness (sometimes referred to as Daltonism), and the 200,000 meteorological observations he kept for 57 years, beginning in 1787. He also taught mathematics and chemistry.

Sir Humphry Davy
b. 12-27-1778; England
d. 5-29-1829
Humphry Davy, FRS, was a physicist and chemist, best known for his discoveries of several alkali and alkaline-earth elements, contributions to the discoveries of the elemental nature of chlorine and iodine and the invention of the Davy lamp, a safety lamp for coal miners. Davy's laboratory assistant was Michael Faraday.

Paul Adrien Maurice Dirac
b. 8-8-1902; Bristol, England
d. 10-20-1984
Dirac, a theoretical physicist and a founder of the field of quantum mechanics, formulated the so-called Dirac equation, which describes the behavior of fermions and which led to the prediction of the existence of antimatter. Dirac and Erwin Schrodinger shared the Nobel Prize in physics for 1933 "for the discovery of new productive forms of atomic theory.

Albert Einstein
b. 3-14-1879; Ulm, Germany
d. 4-18-1955; Princeton, NJ
"Imagination is more important than knowledge."
Albert Einstein revolutionized accepted views of the universe with his theories on the nature of energy, matter, motion, time and space. He was awarded the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1921.

Michael Faraday,
Chemist and Physicist
b. 9-22-1791; London
d. 8-25-1867; England
Poster Text: “Nothing is too wonderful to be true if it be consistent with the laws of nature.” -Michael Faraday
One of the greatest experimenters in the field of electricity, Michael Faraday is best known for his discovery of electromagnetic induction and the laws of electrolysis. He is also viewed as the inventor of the electric motor, generator, and transformer.

Enrico Fermi
b. 9-29-1901; Rose, Italy
d. 11-28-1954; Chicago, IL
Enrico Fermi is most known for his work in developing of the first nuclear reactor, developments in quantum theory, and nuclear and particle physics. His work eventually lead to the Manhattan Project.
Fermi was awarded the 1938 Nobel Prize in Physics.

Richard Feynman
b. 5-11-1918; Queens, NY
d. 2-15-1988; LA, CA
Richard Feynman expanded the theory of quantum electrodynamics, developing a graphical representation of mathematical expressions known as Feynman diagrams. He was awarded the 1965 Nobel Prize for Physics with Julian Schwinger and Sin-Itiro Tomonaga. Feynman participated in developing the atomic bomb, pioneered quantum computing and introduced the idea of nanotechnology.

Leon Foucault
b. 9-18-1819; France
d. 2-11-1868
Physicist Leon Foucault is best remembered for his invention of a device demonstrating the effect of the Earth's rotation, the Foucault pendulum.

Galileo Galilei
b. 2-15-1564; Pisa, Italy
d. 1-8-1642, Italy
Galileo is often referred to as "the father" of modern astronomy, modern physics, and science, with his break from Aristotle's abstract approach to phenomenon.

Werner Heisenberg
b. 12-5-1901; Werzburg, Germany
d. 2-1-1976; Munich
Werner Heisenberg was one of the founders of quantum mechanics, best known for his Heisenberg uncertainty principle stating that" the simultaneous determination of two paired quantities, for example the position and momentum of a particle, has an unavoidable uncertainty".
Heisenberg was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics, 1932 "for the creation of quantum mechanics, the application of which has, inter alia, led to the discovery of the allotropic forms of hydrogen".

Jan Baptista van Helmont
b. 1-12-1577; Belgium
d. 12-30-1644
Jan Baptista van Helmont was a chemist, physiologist, and physician, who bridged the work of alchemist and mystic Paracelsus with the learning by experiment promoted by Galileo and Bacon. Van Helmont is remembered for his early realization that matter can neither be created or destroyed and for introducing the word "gas" into the science vocabulary.
