Wikipedia notes that Thales "was arguably the first scientist for describing how cosmic events may be seen as natural, not necessarily caused by gods," a single insight that defines his legacy above all else. Browsing this way collects every scientist remembered chiefly for the same field.FactsChemistrySourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsComparisonBranch NatureWell-attestedNatural Science 1ChemistryFilter Results42 entriesDisciplineAllBiochemistry (19)Biology (7)Chemistry (2)Earth Science (1)Genetics (5)Genomics (1)Medicine (5)Microbiology (1)Molecular Biology (2)Neuroscience (3)Pharmacology (2)Virology (2)Zoology (1)EraAll1744 (1)1838 (1)1849 (1)1854 (1)1860 (1)1868 (1)1873 (1)1887 (1)1888 (2)1892 (1)1894 (1)1895 (1)1898 (1)1900 (1)1904 (1)1906 (2)1909 (1)1910 (1)1911 (1)1917 (2)1918 (1)1919 (1)1922 (4)1924 (1)1927 (2)1942 (2)1944 (2)1946 (1)1948 (1)1949 (1)1957 (1)1961 (1)1964 (1)NationalityAllArgentina (2)Australia (2)Belgium (1)Canada (1)France (1)German Empire (2)Germany (4)India (5)Italy (1)Japan (2)Kingdom of Prussia (1)Russian Empire (1)Soviet Union (2)Ukraine (1)United Kingdom (10)United States (15)InstitutionAllAcademie des Sciences (1)California Institute of Technology (1)Chinese Academy of Sciences (1)Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (1)Columbia University (1)Copley Medal (1)Imperial College London (1)Indian Institute of Science (1)Lasker Award (2)Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich (1)Massachusetts Institute of Technology (1)Moscow State University (1)NASA (1)National Academy of Sciences (13)Nobel Prize (5)Ochanomizu University (1)RIKEN (2)Royal Society (12)University of California, Berkeley (1)University of California, San Francisco (1)University of Cambridge (3)University of Göttingen (1)University of Ottawa (1)University of Oxford (2)University of Strasbourg (1)University of Tübingen (1)University of Würzburg (1)Université de Montréal (1)Washington University in St. Louis (2)Yale University (1)In GroupAllBiochemistry (13)Ecology And Evolutionary Biology (3)Genetics And Molecular Biology (12)Microbiology (2)Neuroscience (2)Other Life Scientists (4)Physiology And Medicine (6)Show ResultsBrowseCompareSelect all 42Alexander OparinChemistryArun Kumar SharmaChemistryBernardo HoussayChemistryBhabatarak BhattacharyyaChemistryCarol W.
