Wikipedia notes that "it was not until the 19th century that the term scientist came into regular use," a term coined long after many of the people the atlas now calls scientists had already done their work. Browsing by era lets a visitor compare scientists active in the same period.Facts20th centurySourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsComparisonBranch NatureWell-attestedNatural Science 120th centuryFilter Results105 entriesDisciplineAllAnthropology (11)Biochemistry (16)Biology (32)Biophysics (2)Botany (1)Chemistry (1)Earth Science (1)Ecology (3)Entomology (3)Genetics (12)Genomics (1)Immunology (4)Medicine (9)Microbiology (3)Molecular Biology (9)Mycology (2)Neuroscience (6)Ornithology (6)Pharmacology (3)Physics (1)Virology (6)Zoology (2)NationalityAllArgentina (1)Armenia (1)Australia (6)Austria (1)Belgium (2)Canada (4)Denmark (1)France (2)Germany (3)India (15)Iran (1)Italy (2)Japan (1)Kenya (3)Netherlands (1)New Zealand (3)Peru (1)Romania (1)Russia (1)Russian Empire (1)Saudi Arabia (1)Senegal (1)South Africa (2)Soviet Union (1)Sweden (1)Taiwan (1)United Kingdom (19)United States (42)FieldAllAgricultural Science (1)Anthropology (11)Archaeology (1)Biology (64)Chemistry (27)Computer Science (1)Earth Science (5)Ecology (6)Economics (1)Environmental Science (2)Genetics (20)Mathematics (2)Medicine (23)Neuroscience (7)Physics (4)Psychology (2)InstitutionAllAmerican Academy of Arts and Sciences (1)American Anthropological Association (1)American Association for the Advancement of Science (2)American Museum of Natural History (2)Arizona State University (1)Association for Computing Machinery (1)Australian National University (1)Bose Institute (1)California Institute of Technology (2)Chinese Academy of Sciences (1)Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (1)Collège de France (1)Columbia University (3)Cornell University (1)Ecological Society of America (1)Field Museum of Natural History (1)Harvard University (1)IIT Delhi (1)Imperial College London (1)Indian Institute of Chemical Biology (1)Indian Institute of Science (1)Johns Hopkins University (3)Karolinska Institute (1)King's College London (1)L.
