Was a French physician.[1] He studied in Montpellier and was the personal physician to King Louis XIV. Denys administered the first fully documented human blood transfusion on June 15, 1667.[2] He transfused about twelve ounces of sheep blood into a 15-year old boy, who had been bled with leeches 20 times. The boy survived the transfusion.[1] Denys performed another transfusion into a labourer, who also survived. Both instances were likely due to the small amount of blood that was actually transfused into these people.

Was a Spanish-born doctor and medical researcher in France best known as the owner who restored Château de Villandry and the creator of its spectacular gardens. Joachim Carvallo emigrated to Paris in 1893 to further his studies. While working with a medical research team he met and married in 1899 a medical intern named Ann Coleman, an American from Lebanon, Pennsylvania. For a time the couple lived in Paris but in 1906 they bought Château de Villandry in the Indre-et-Loire in France's Loire Valley and began their dream of restoring and improving the once magnificent château.

Was a Polish psychiatrist. She developed innovative techniques for treating nervous disorders and established psychiatry services for Warsaw students. [1][2][3].During World War II she participated in the Warsaw Uprising and afterward was transported to work in the Wiener Holtzwerke factory. She wrote in her diary: "I remember a powerful, overwhelming nostalgia for Warsaw. In my dreams I walked down Marszalkowska Street toward Plac Zbawiciela (Savior Square), it would rain, and I would wake all in tears. This dream recurred often."

An Indian American theoretical physicist at the University of Maryland, College Park, the joint recipient of the 2000 Dirac Medal.Pati has made pioneering contributions to the notion of a unification of elementary particles – quarks and leptons – and of their gauge forces force: weak, electromagnetic, and strong. His formulation, carried out in collaboration with Abdus Salam, of the original gauge theory of quark–lepton unification, and their resulting insight that violations of baryon and lepton numbers, especially those that would manifest in proton decay, are likely consequences of such a unification, provide cornerstones of modern particle physics today. The suggestions of Pati and Salam (The Pati-Salam model) of the symmetry of SU(4)–color, left–right symmetry, and of the associated existence of right-handed neutrinos, now provide some of the crucial ingredients for understanding the observed masses of the neutrinos and their oscillations. For his pioneering contributions to a “Quest for Unification” he received the Dirac Medal for the year 2000 (with Howard Georgi and Helen Quinn).

Was a Swedish chemist who discovered the chemical element lithium in 1817 by isolating it as a salt.Arfvedson belonged to a wealthy bourgeois family, the son of the wholesale merchant and factory owner Jacob Arfvedson and his spouse, Anna Elisabeth Holtermann. The younger Arfwedson matriculated as a student at the University of Uppsala in 1803 (at the time, matriculating at a young age was common for aristocratic and wealthy students), completed a degree in Law in 1809 and a second degree in mineralogy in 1812. In the latter year, he received an unpaid position in the Royal Board of Mines, where he advanced to the position of notary (still without a salary) in 1814.

Was a Finnish chemist, physicist and mineralogist. Gadolin discovered the chemical element yttrium. He was also the founder of Finnish chemistry research, as the second holder of the Chair of Chemistry, established in 1761 and first held by Pehr Adrian Gadd (April 4, 1727 – August 11, 1797).Gadolin became famous when he discovered the first rare earth element. In 1792 Gadolin received a sample of black, heavy mineral found in a quarry in the Swedish village Ytterby near Stockholm. By careful experiments, he isolated a rare earth oxide which was later named yttria. He also isolated in the same study yttrium trihydroxide

He is Professor of Physics at The University of Arizona in Tucson, guest scientist at CERN (Geneva) and LMU-Excellent Guest Professor at the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich in Munich, Germany.Rafelski’s current research interests center around investigation of the vacuum structure of QCD and QED in the presence of strong fields; study of the QCD vacuum structure and deconfinement with strange particle production in deconfined quark–gluon plasma formed in relativistic heavy ion collisions; the formation of matter out of quark-gluon plasma in the hadronization process, also in the early Universe; the ascent of ultrashort laser light pulses as a new tool in this domain of physics. He has also contributed to the physics of table top Muon-catalyzed fusion, antimatter formation and annihilation, and artificial intelligence.
