Was sent to Sibiria by Tsar Alexander II's troops after the peasants troubles in Lithuania. From there he succeeded to escape to the West. He established in France and became a known doctor. There he wrote in Polish the story of his adventure, which was later translated to French by Joséphine Bohdan. The original Polish written version of the memoirs does still exist but were held by Jean and Madeleine Okinczyc, who didn't allow us to publish it on the Web. If you visit the town of Villepreux (30 km west far from Paris), you may ask the "Association des amis du vieux Villepreux" and see the little local museum about the "Docteur Alexandre", and the street named "rue du Docteur Alexandre".

Was an American attorney, investment banker, physicist, philanthropist and patron of scientific research. He established the Loomis Laboratory in Tuxedo Park, New York, and his role in the development of radar is considered instrumental in the Allied victory in World War II. He invented the Aberdeen Chronograph for measuring muzzle velocities, proposed the LORAN navigational system, contributed significantly (perhaps critically, according to Luis Alvarez[1]) to the development of a ground-controlled approach technology for aircraft, and participated in preliminary meetings of the Manhattan Project. Loomis also made contributions to biological instrumentation -- working with Edmund Newton Harvey, he co-invented the microscope centrifuge[2], and pioneered techniques for electroencephalography.[3]

Was a French physician, important because his ideas about the interpretation of dreams and the effect of external stimuli on dreams pre-dated those of Sigmund Freud. He is mentioned by Freud in The Interpretation of Dreams, and by Sebastian Faulks in Human Traces. He coined the term hypnagogic hallucination and reported a dream that famously inspired Salvador Dalí's painting Dream Caused by the Flight of a Bee Around a Pomegranate a Second Before Awakening. Alfred Maury was contemporary with Hervey de Saint Denys and the two dream researchers were in disagreement with each other (Blanken & Meijer, 1988).

An English chemist or pharmacist, was the creator of the amyl nitrite capsule, commonly known as a "popper."Amyl nitrite was discovered in 1844 and was found to relax the capillary blood vessels. In 1867, Thomas Lauder Brunton, a medical student in Scotland, found the drug helped relieve angina by increasing blood flow to the heart. Parker was the first pharmacist to produce amyl nitrite in capsule form for inhalation, sometime just before the First World War.Nitroglycerine was found to have a dilating effect similar to amyl nitrite. Although both can still be prescribed for angina, nitroglycerine is much more commonly prescribed because it is more easily administered and has fewer side effects

Was a nuclear physicist and administrator at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL). He came to Oak Ridge, Tennessee in 1945 and remained there until his death in 2006.He served as director of Oak Ridge National Laboratory's Physics Division from 1945 until 1948, when he became Research Director for the laboratory. He was named director of the laboratory in 1955. [1] Weinberg often sat in the front row at ORNL division information meetings and ask the first, often a very penetrating, question after each scientific talk. For young scientists giving their first presentation, the experience could be frightening but was also exciting and stimulating. When asked how he found the time to attend every meeting, Weinberg replied jokingly, "We didn't have a DOE in those days."
