An important question is what people are doing/has made during their lives.A big part of the professions are related to science. This project has an umbrella role and belongs to the hierarchy People -->people of professions -->people of scientific professions. This hierarchy is continued below this Project e.g. https://www.geni.com/projects/Science-Communicators/41088 and the various branches of sciences. The people of scientific professions are the scientists. Science and technology have continually modified human existence through the engineering process. As a profession the scientist of today is widely recognized. Scientists include theoreticians who mainly develop new models to explain existing data and predict new results, and experimentalists who mainly test models by making measurements — though in practice the division between these activities is not clear-cut, and many scientists perform both tasks. The term scientist was coined by the theologian, philosopher, and historian of science William M. Whewell in 1833. This article focuses on the more restricted use of the word. Scientists perform research toward a more comprehensive understanding of nature, including physical, mathematical and social realms. There is a continuum from the most theoretical to the most empirical scientists with no distinct boundaries. In terms of personality, interests, training and professional activity, there is little difference between applied mathematicians and theoretical physicists. In this project we collect them grouped by location, date, branch, etc. Occupation: Name Scientist Profession Activity sectors Use of scientific method Competencies Science ( Physics, Mathematics, Astronomy and Cosmology, Biology, Chemistry, Paleontology, and others)

Historical aspect

Father of Western Philosophy

Along with [Plato], Aristotle is considered the "Father of Western Philosophy", which inherited almost its entire lexicon from his teachings, including problems and methods of inquiry, so influencing almost all forms of knowledge.

Aristotle (/ˈærɪˌstɒtəl/;[3] Greek: Ἀριστοτέλης Aristotélēs, pronounced [aristot%C3%A9l%C9%9B%CB%90s]; 384–322 BC)[n 1] was an ancient Greek philosopher and scientist born in the city of Stagira, Chalkidiki, in the north of Classical Greece. Plato (/ˈpleɪtoʊ/;[a][1] Greek: Πλάτων[a] Plátōn, pronounced [pl%C3%A1.t%C9%94%CB%90n] in Classical Attic; 428/427 or 424/423[b] – 348/347 BC) was a philosopher in Classical Greece and the founder of the Academy in Athens, the first institution of higher learning in the Western world.
Socrates (/sɒkrətiːz/ Ancient Greek: Σωκρᾰ́της, translit. Sōkrátēs, [s%C9%94%CB%90kr%C3%A1t%C9%9B%CB%90s]; c. 470 – 399 BC)[3][4] was a classical Greek (Athenian) philosopher credited as one of the founders of Western philosophy, and as being the first moral philosopher,[5][6] of the Western ethical tradition of thought.

Natural science

major branch of science, that tries to explain and predict nature's phenomena, based on empirical evidence. In natural science, hypotheses must be verified scientifically to be regarded as scientific theory. Validity, accuracy, and social mechanisms ensuring quality control, such as peer review and repeatability of findings, are amongst the criteria and methods used for this purpose. Natural science can be broken into two main branches: biology, and physical science. Each of these branches, and all of their sub-branches, are referred to as natural sciences.

===Physical science – branch of natural science that studies non-living systems, in contrast to the biological sciences. It in turn has many branches, each referred to as a "physical science", together called the "physical sciences". However, the term "physical" creates an unintended, somewhat arbitrary distinction, since many branches of physical science also study biological phenomena (organic chemistry, for example).===

History of chemistry

The roots of chemistry can be traced to the phenomenon of burning. Fire was a mystical force that transformed one substance into another and thus was of primary interest to mankind. It was fire that led to the discovery of iron and glasses. After gold was discovered and became a precious metal, many people were interested to find a method that could convert other substances into gold. This led to the protoscience called alchemy. The word chemist is derived from the New Latin noun chimista, an abbreviation of alchimista (alchemist). Alchemists discovered many chemical processes that led to the development of modern chemistry. Chemistry as we know it today, was invented by Antoine Lavoisier with his law of conservation of mass in 1783. The discoveries of the chemical elements has a long history culminating in the creation of the periodic table by Dmitri Mendeleev. The Nobel Prize in Chemistry created in 1901 gives an excellent overview of chemical discovery since the start of the 20th century. see the people

People of chemistry

A chemist (from Greek chēm (ía) alchemy; replacing chemist from Medieval Latin alchimista[1]) is a scientist trained in the study of chemistry. Chemists study the composition of matter and its properties. Chemists carefully describe the properties they study in terms of quantities, with detail on the level of molecules and their component atoms. Chemists carefully measure substance proportions, reaction rates, and other chemical properties. The word 'chemist' is also used to address Pharmacists in Commonwealth English.

1. Karl Wilhelm Scheele https://hu.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carl_Wilhelm_Scheele discovered oxygen (although Joseph Priestley published his findings first), and identified molybdenum, tungsten, barium, hydrogen, and chlorine before Humphry Davy, among others. Scheele discovered organic acids tartaric, oxalic, uric, lactic, and citric, as well as hydrofluoric, hydrocyanic, and arsenic acids.
2. Antoine Laurent Lavoisier Antoine-Laurent de Lavoisier (UK: /læˈvwʌzieɪ/ lav-WUZ-ee-ay, US: /ləˈvwɑːzieɪ/ lə-VWAH-zee-ay, French: [%C9%91%CC%83twan lɔʁɑ̃ də lavwazje]; 26 August 1743 – 8 May 1794),[4] also Antoine Lavoisier after the French Revolution, was a French nobleman and chemist who was central to the 18th-century chemical revolution and who had a large influence on both the history of chemistry and the history of biology.[5] He is widely considered in popular literature as the "father of modern chemistry"
3. Prof. Friedrich Woehler Friedrich Wöhler (German: [%CB%88v%C3%B8%CB%90l%C9%90]) FRS(For) HFRSE (31 July 1800 – 23 September 1882) was a German chemist, known for his work in inorganic chemistry, being the first to isolate the chemical elements beryllium and yttrium in pure metallic form. He was the first to prepare several inorganic compounds including silane and silicon nitride.
4. Jöns Jacob Berzelius Baron Jöns Jacob Berzelius (Swedish: [j%C5%93ns ˈjɑ̌ːkɔb bæˈʂěːlɪɵs];[1] 20 August 1779 – 7 August 1848) was a Swedish chemist. Berzelius is considered, along with Robert Boyle, John Dalton, and Antoine Lavoisier, to be one of the founders of modern chemistry.[2] Berzelius became a member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences in 1808 and served from 1818 as its principal functionary. He is known in Sweden as the "Father of Swedish Chemistry". Berzelius Day is celebrated on 20 August in honour of him.

Who are G-research?

G-Research uses scientific techniques to produce world-beating predictive research and builds advanced technology to analyse big data. We believe in the science of ideas, where innovation meets imagination. We are building a range of complex systems and projects from scratch; everything from quantitative platform engineering aimed to improve latency and performance in C# & F#, to building highly available distributed systems in the JVM ecosystem (Java, Scala, Kotlin); and complex ETL warehouses which pull petabytes of data off Kafka and Cassandra into large Hadoop and Spark clusters. If this wasn’t enough, we’re also building bespoke Python/big data tools for our quantitative researchers and trying to improve upon Google’s open source build system (Blaze/Bazel) to make it operational in .NET Core. There is A LOT going on.

Take a look at our technical blogs on our site, written by people that work here; it will give you a good feel for what we do - https://www.gresearch.co.uk/g-research-blog
