Home›Scientists›Era›By Decade›1910sBrowse By1910sThis 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.Facts1910sConnectionsSourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsComparisonConcept Term OriginWell-attested1834
