Great Scientists

To celebrate this blog’s 500th post.

Humanity has benefited from a considerable number of studies. Among the most important are: Koch, who discovered the microorganism responsible for tuberculosis; the discovery of penicillin by Fleming; Lavoisier’s studies in Physics; Pasteur for his vaccines and the establishment of the periodic table of chemical elements by Mendeleev.

A humanidade beneficiou, entre outros, dos estudos de Koch com a descoberta do microorganismo responsável pela tuberculose; Fleming pela descoberta da penicilina; Lavoisier pelos trabalhos de física; Pasteur pelas suas vacinas e Mendeleev pelo estabelecimento do quadro periódico dos elementos químicos.
