Thank you! Shall do.

I received a college prep education, achieved multiple college degrees, but other than hearing about these scientists in passing, wasn’t encouraged to read or learn about them and their achievements. I had aptitude for science and math too ((not enough to pursue careers in them, but plenty to appreciate and understand).

:)

I’m a Mechanical Engineer and learned about the pantheon of famous scientists in my physics classes — but almost wholly by name or by a named physical constant. We never thought about them as men and their life-long quests to understand the world around us. These books opened up a whole new perspective for me. Enjoy!
