Home›Earth Sciences›In GroupBrowse ByIn GroupThis page names the wider group of scientists that a specific scientist is grouped with. Wikipedia notes that the term scientist "was coined by the theologian, philosopher, and historian of science William Whewell to describe Mary Somerville," one person grouped from the very start with the wider community the word was meant to describe. Browsing this way moves between a scientist and their close peers.FactsIn GroupSourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsComparisonBranch NatureWell-attestedNatural Science 1In GroupFilter Results9
