Home›Scientists›Era›By Decade›1960sBrowse By1960sThis 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.Facts1960sConnectionsSourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsComparisonConcept Term OriginWell-attested1834 11960sFilter Results66 entriesDisciplineAllAstronomy (3)Astrophysics (7)Biology (5)Chemistry (11)Computer Science (3)Cosmology (2)Genetics (1)Geochemistry (1)Geology (3)Hydrology (2)Inorganic Chemistry (1)Linguistics (2)Mathematics (9)Medicine (5)Molecular Biology (5)Neuroscience (1)Organic Chemistry (1)Particle Physics (1)Physics (10)Field (legacy)AllAstrophysics (4)Computer science, deep learning (1)Condensed matter theory (1)Genetics, embryogenesis (1)Geochemistry and volcanology (1)Geology and hydrogeology (1)Indo-European languages and the languages of California (1)Mathematics (geometry) (1)Molecular Biology (1)Molecular biology and biochemistry (1)Planetary astronomy (1)Pulsars, Neutron stars, Astrophysics (1)Quantum computing and quantum information (1)Stem cell biology and regenerative medicine (1)InstitutionAllAmerican Association for the Advancement of Science (2)American Physical Society (5)Association for Computing Machinery (1)Bell Labs (1)California Institute of Technology (2)Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (1)Columbia University (2)French National Centre for Scientific Research (1)Harvard University (1)Institute for Advanced Study (1)Jadavpur University (3)Johns Hopkins University (1)Karolinska Institute (1)Linguistic Society of America (1)Massachusetts Institute of Technology (4)Max Planck Society (6)NASA (2)National Academy of Sciences (13)Northwestern University (1)Princeton University (2)Royal Astronomical Society (1)Royal Society (7)University College London (1)University of California, Berkeley (5)University of California, San Diego (1)University of California, San Francisco (1)University of Cambridge (1)University of Chicago (1)University of Edinburgh (1)In GroupAllAlgebra And Number Theory (2)Applied Mathematics (2)Astrophysics And Cosmology (1)Biochemists (4)Classical And Theoretical Physicists Since 1950 (1)Classical And Theoretical Physicists, 1900 to 1949 (1)Combinatorics (1)Condensed Matter Physics (2)Cosmology And Large-Scale Structure (3)Galactic And Extragalactic Astronomy (1)Genetics And Molecular Biology (3)Geologists (3)Geometry And Topology (3)Geophysicists And Seismologists (1)Inorganic Chemists (1)Neuroscience (2)Observatory Builders And Instrumentation (1)Organic Chemists (1)Other Astronomers (1)Other Chemists (5)Other Life Scientists (2)Other Mathematicians (1)Other Physics (1)Particle And High-Energy Physics (2)Physical Chemists (1)Physiology And Medicine (1)Planetary Science And Solar System Astronomy (2)Quantum Physics And Quantum Information (1)Radio And Multi-Messenger Astronomy (1)Stellar Astronomy And Astrophysics (1)Syntax And Generative Grammar (1)Volcanologists (1)NationalityAllArmenia (1)Australia (1)Austria (1)Belgium (1)Canada (3)China (1)France (6)Germany (3)Hungary (1)India (9)Japan (2)Lebanon (1)New Zealand (1)Norway (2)Romania (1)Russia (4)Saudi Arabia (1)South Korea (1)Spain (1)Sweden (1)Switzerland (1)Tunisia (1)United Kingdom (4)United States (30)Vietnam (1)Show ResultsBrowseCompareSelect all 66A.
