If scientists had logos

July 14, 2016 • 1:45 pm

Reader Robin sent this, which I see is available all over the Internet. It’s sort of cool, and so we’ll end the day with this. I like Newton’s, Gödel’s, Feynman’s, and Einstein’s. But Watson and Crick, as well as Jane Goodall, are kind of a stretch. And I suppose someone will point out that “Darwin” implies a telological evolutionary progressivism!

    2. My most vivid (and enjoyable) memory from organic chemistry is the professor going through a rather detailed description of how Wallace Carothers (of Du Pont fame) created an “elegant” experiment to conclusively distinguish between the “levo” or “dextro” forms of a given molecule, inasmuch as they otherwise exhibit identical chemical properties.

  7. We could add SchrÖdinger, the Ö should be a cat seen from the back with its ears up.

    Any artists?

  10. Lots of nits.

    Here is another, Einstein has the classical (really, newtonian) mistake E = mc^2 instead of the relativistic E_0 = mc^2.

    But I guess we can give it some poetic licence.

      1. Well, you can make a start…
        Excuse me, there is a little bird at the door needing to sharpen it’s beak.

  12. Kind of annoying that Darwin gets a sort of linear scala naturae. There really ought to be a way to get a tree in there somewhere.

  13. Marie Curie and Jane Goodall once again competing for the “the one woman in science I can think of” spot… pity…

    1. The real pity is that our world did not let other talented ladies realize their full scientific potential.

  15. All of them great!

    Would have loved to have seen Kepler, Planck, Freud, Euclid, and this being a cat-loving forum, Schrödinger, naturally. 🙂
