Home›Life 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 entriesDisciplineAllAnthropology (5)Biochemistry (5)Biology (6)Biophysics (2)Botany (5)Chemistry (2)Earth Science (1)Ecology (3)Entomology (2)Genetics (1)Genomics (1)Geology (2)Herpetology (1)Immunology (5)Medicine (6)Microbiology (2)Molecular Biology (4)Mycology (1)Neuroscience (2)Ornithology (3)Paleontology (3)Pharmacology (3)Physics (1)Psychology (1)Virology (5)Zoology (5)EraAll1215 (1)1647 (1)1666 (1)1735 (1)1744 (1)1749 (1)1759 (1)1799 (1)1800 (1)1801 (1)1804 (1)1807 (1)1809 (2)1811 (1)1816 (1)1825 (1)1832 (2)1834 (2)1838 (1)1843 (2)1849 (1)1851 (1)1852 (1)1853 (1)1854 (2)1855 (1)1857 (1)1858 (1)1860 (2)1861 (1)1863 (1)1864 (1)1868 (1)1871 (2)1873 (2)1874 (1)1879 (1)1880 (1)1881 (1)1884 (2)1886 (2)1887 (3)1888 (2)1889 (1)1891 (1)1892 (1)1894 (1)1895 (2)1897 (1)1898 (2)1899 (2)1900 (2)1901 (1)1903 (3)1904 (2)1906 (1)1907 (2)1908 (3)1909 (1)1910 (1)1911 (3)1912 (1)1913 (2)1914 (1)1915 (2)1916 (1)1917 (1)1918 (1)1919 (1)1920 (2)1922 (4)1923 (1)1924 (2)1925 (2)1927 (1)1928 (2)1929 (1)1930 (1)1931 (1)1934 (4)1936 (1)1937 (1)1938 (4)1940 (1)1941 (2)1942 (2)1943 (2)1944 (3)1946 (3)1947 (1)1948 (1)1949 (1)1950 (1)1951 (2)1952 (2)1953 (1)1956 (1)1957 (1)1958 (3)1964 (2)Showing the 100 most common of 119 options.NationalityAllArgentina (2)Armenia (1)Australia (1)Australia (5)Austria (3)Austrian Empire (1)Belgium (2)Brazil (1)Canada (4)Classical Athens (1)Denmark (2)France (4)German Empire (4)German Reich (1)Germany (7)Greece (1)India (1)India (7)Iran (1)Ireland (4)Israel (1)Italy (3)Japan (5)Kenya (3)Kingdom of Italy (1)Kingdom of Prussia (2)Morocco (1)Netherlands (3)New Zealand (3)Peru (1)Romania (2)Russia (1)Russian Empire (4)Saudi Arabia (1)Senegal (1)South Africa (3)Soviet Union (5)Spain (1)Sweden (2)Switzerland (1)Taiwan (1)Ukraine (1)United Kingdom (8)United States (8)Weimar Republic (1)FieldAllAgricultural Science (3)Anthropology (5)Archaeology (1)Astronomy (2)Astrophysics (1)Biology (9)Chemistry (7)Computer Science (1)Earth Science (6)Ecology (3)Economics (2)Engineering (2)Environmental Science (2)Genetics (5)Linguistics (1)Mathematics (3)Medicine (9)Meteorology (1)Neuroscience (3)Oceanography (1)Physics (5)Psychology (3)Sociology (1)InstitutionAllAcademie des Sciences (1)American Academy of Arts and Sciences (1)American Anthropological Association (1)American Association for the Advancement of Science (2)American Museum of Natural History (2)American Philosophical Society (1)Arizona State University (1)Association for Computing Machinery (1)Australian National University (1)Bose Institute (4)Calcutta School of Tropical Medicine (1)California Institute of Technology (2)Chinese Academy of Sciences (1)Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (1)Collège de France (1)Columbia University (3)Copley Medal (2)Cornell University (1)Ecological Society of America (1)Field Museum of Natural History (1)Harvard University (1)Humboldt University of Berlin (1)IIT Delhi (1)Imperial College London (1)Indian Institute of Chemical Biology (1)Indian Institute of Science (1)John Innes Centre (1)Johns Hopkins University (2)Karolinska Institute (1)Kazan Federal University (1)King's College London (1)L.
