Koch developed a new
method to test whether a
particular micro-organism
was the cause of a
disease. Koch used
experiments to identify
the bacterial causes of
anthrax, tuberculosis and
cholera.

The Pascal is a unit of
atmospheric pressure
named after Blaise Pascal,
whose experiments
greatly increased
knowledge of the
atmosphere.

James Prescott Joule
studied the nature of
heat. He influenced the
First Law of
Thermodynamics and
formulated the Joule’s
laws which deal with the
transfer of energy.

Antonie Van Leeuwenhoek
is considered the father of
microscopy because of the
advances he made in
microscope design and
use.

Martinus was a Dutch
microbiologist who was
the first person to use the
term "virus" for an
invisible disease-causing
material smaller than
bacteria.

James Watt, the Scottish
inventor and engineer - well
renowned for his
improvements in steam
engine technology. A unit of
measurement of electrical
and mechanical power - the
watt - is named in his
honour.
Joseph Lister known as the
‘father of antiseptic
surgery’. He introduced
sterile surgery - handwashing, sterilising
instruments and spraying
carbolic in the theatre
while operating - in order
to limit infection.

Marie Curie conducted
pioneering research on
radioactivity. Her
achievements included a
theory of radioactivity and the
discovery of two elements,
polonium and radium. Curie's
research was crucial in the
development of x-rays in
surgery.
Jane is considered to be the
world's foremost expert on
chimpanzees. She is best
known for her 45-year
study of social and family
interactions of wild
chimpanzees in Gombe
Stream National Park,
Tanzania.
Rosalind Elsie Franklin was
a British biophysicist and Xray crystallographer who
made crucial contributions
to the understanding of the
structures of DNA, viruses,
coal, and graphite.

Patented modern tarmac.
He noticed that spilled tar on
the roadway kept the tar
down and created a smooth
surface. His patent involved
mechanically mixing tar and
aggregate and then
compacting the mixture with
a steamroller.
Believed a road should have
good foundations and allow
rainwater to drain into
ditches. He worked out a
way to build a road across a
bog using a series of rafts
made from ling (a type of
heather) and furze (gorse)
tied in bundles as
foundations.
Established the first scientific
approach to road building. First,
a convex foundation was
excavated to encourage water
to drain off the surface. Next,
large stones were laid and
covered with smaller stones.
Finally a third layer of hard
broken stone, (about the size of
walnuts) was spread to produce
the surface layer.

Telford was dubbed The
Colossus of Roads. He
improved on methods for
the building of roads by
improving the selection of
stone based on thickness,
taking into account traffic,
alignment and slopes.
McAdam introduced
tar (originally coal tar)
to bind the road
surface's stones
together.
