Home›Scientists›Era›By Decade›1890sBrowse By1890sThis dimension groups scientists by the era in which they worked. 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.Facts1890sConnectionsSourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsComparisonConcept Term OriginWell-attested1834 11890sFilter Results98 entriesDisciplineAllAstronomy (6)Astrophysics (1)Biochemistry (6)Biology (3)Botany (1)Chemistry (21)Computer Science (2)Entomology (1)Genetics (3)Geology (14)Immunology (1)Linguistics (6)Logic (2)Materials Science (1)Mathematics (6)Medicine (5)Meteorology (2)Microbiology (1)Molecular Biology (1)Organic Chemistry (1)Paleontology (4)Petrology (1)Pharmacology (3)Philosophy of Science (1)Physics (15)Statistics (4)Thermodynamics (1)Field (legacy)AllAeolian processes (1)Anthropological linguistics (1)Astronomy (2)Astronomy and cosmology (1)Astrophysics (1)Biochemistry (2)Biochemistry and pharmacology (1)Biochemistry, physiology (1)Biomedical science (1)Botany (plant breeding, cytogenetics, phytogeography) (1)Chemistry (2)Engineering (1)Genetics (2)Geology (5)Geology (petrology) (1)Geology (porphyry copper genesis and plate tectonics) (1)Geology and geochronology (1)Historical linguistics and Indo-European studies (1)Linguistics (4)low-temperature physics (1)Mathematical statistics (1)Mathematics (2)Mathematics and computer science (1)Mathematics and mathematical logic (computability theory) (1)Medicine (1)Meteorology (2)Microbiology and epidemiology (1)Paleontology (1)Paleontology and stratigraphy (1)Petrology and geology (1)Philosophy and logic (logical positivism) (1)Philosophy of science (1)Physics (2)Physiology (1)Sedimentology and marine geology (1)Statistics (1)Statistics and population genetics (1)Virology and Immunology (1)X-ray Crystallography (1)InstitutionAllAmerican Association for the Advancement of Science (3)American Chemical Society (1)American Physical Society (5)American Statistical Association (1)Bose Institute (1)Brown University (2)Cavendish Laboratory (2)Chinese Academy of Sciences (1)Columbia University (5)Curie Institute (1)Ghent University (1)Harvard College Observatory (1)Hebrew University of Jerusalem (1)Heidelberg University (1)Humboldt University of Berlin (1)Institute for Advanced Study (1)King's College London (1)Lebedev Physical Institute (1)Massachusetts Institute of Technology (3)Max Planck Society (2)Moscow State University (2)Mount Wilson Observatory (2)National Academy of Sciences (17)Princeton University (2)Royal Society (17)The Geological Society of London (1)University College London (1)University of Calcutta (1)University of California, Berkeley (1)University of California, Los Angeles (1)University of Cambridge (2)University of Chicago (2)University of Copenhagen (2)University of Dhaka (1)University of Freiburg (1)University of Manchester (1)University of Rochester (2)University of Texas at Austin (1)University of Tübingen (1)University of Vienna (1)Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (1)Yale University (1)In GroupAllAnalysis (1)Biochemistry (1)Biochemists (2)Classical And Theoretical Physicists Before 1900 (3)Classical And Theoretical Physicists, 1900 to 1949 (4)Cosmology And Large-Scale Structure (2)Ecology And Evolutionary Biology (1)Galactic And Extragalactic Astronomy (1)Genetics And Molecular Biology (1)Geologists (4)Geometry And Topology (1)Geophysicists And Seismologists (1)Historical And Classical Astronomers (1)Historical And Comparative Linguistics (1)Historical And Foundational Chemists (Pre-1900) (9)Hydrologists And Glaciologists (1)Inorganic Chemists (1)Meteorologists And Climatologists (2)Microbiology (3)Mineralogists And Petrologists (1)Nuclear Physics (3)Oceanographers (1)Organic Chemists (3)Other Earth Scientists (3)Other Life Scientists (1)Other Linguists (3)Paleontologists (4)Particle And High-Energy Physics (1)Phonology And Phonetics (2)Physical Chemists (5)Physiology And Medicine (1)Planetary Science And Solar System Astronomy (1)Probability And Statistics (2)Quantum Physics And Quantum Information (3)Stellar Astronomy And Astrophysics (1)Volcanologists (2)Zoology (1)NationalityAllAustralia (1)Australia (2)Austria-Hungary (1)Belgium (2)Canada (1)China (1)Czechoslovakia (2)Denmark (2)Finland (1)France (3)Germany (6)Hungary (1)India (6)Israel (1)Norway (2)Poland (3)Russia (2)Russian Empire (4)Soviet Union (5)Sweden (2)Switzerland (2)United Kingdom (19)United States (39)Show ResultsBrowseCompareSelect all 98Abraham Fraenkel1890sAlexander Oparin1890sAlfred Sherwood Romer1890sAlfred Sturtevant1890sArthur Compton1890sArthur Elijah Trueman1890sArthur Francis Buddington1890sArthur Holmes1890sArtturi Virtanen1890sBenjamin Lee Whorf1890sCarl Cori1890sCarl Shipp Marvel1890sCarl-Gustaf Rossby1890sCecil Edgar Tilley1890sCorneille Heymans1890sCyril Hinshelwood1890sEdward Doisy1890sEdward Victor Appleton1890sEgon Pearson1890sEmil Post1890sErik Stensio1890sErnest H.
