      I quite like Nikola Tesla, because he was as mad a hatters tea party. Also Michael Faraday definetly deserves a mention here as his dicoveries were truely ground breaking and have had a real impact in modern life.

      Probably Rosalind Franklin – she was involved in the discovery of the structure of DNA. The Nobel Prize was however won by Crick and Watson and she wasn’t included. I think it’s a massive shame that her work wasn’t recognised.
