He was centuries too early to win a Nobel Prize (which has generated several posts here broken down by religion) and I'm sure most Gun Broker members would prefer to ignore him. By the way, check out his head gear!

  I thought it was Louis Pasture, but that's Food Science I believe.

  fascinating. it appears he lent more to the science in terms of laboratory procedure than the knowledge that was spread along with the appreciation of his works, which in itself was a good thing.
  
  see? even though on an absolute scale he didn't advance the science as much as planck, bohr, maxwell, or pauling, let alone mendeleev, boyle, de broglie, gibbs, dalton or even that arrhenius guy, he was just as important.
