      So my favorite scientist is Leonardo da Vinci. Leonardo was very famous for being open to learning everything. He tried a range of experiments, from human anatomy to musical instruments to even a steam cannon!
      I admire that he did not let science hold him back and everything he did really showed his passion for science!

      Hi,
      I find Jane Goodall very inspiring, she was a scientist that worked with primates and was a champion for animal rights.

      I admire Galilei for his determination to support his idea of the sun at the centre of the solar system almost risking his life. More recently, one of my university professors and his passion for his job inspired me to pursue a research career.

      Stephen Hawking is one of my favorite and the most inspiring scientist. His books and TED talks have always been insightful and he is a real wonder.

    I find Ada Lovelace very inspiring, she was a mathematician who saw beyond a computer doing calculations and invented the algorithm, which is essentially computer programming as we know it today.
