The term "royal disease" refers to hemophilia, a genetic disorder that affects the blood's ability to clot. It became known as such because it was notably present in European royal families, particularly in the British royal family due to Queen Victoria's carrier status. German scientists contributed to the understanding of this condition through medical research, helping to identify its genetic basis and inheritance patterns. The disease's prevalence among royals highlights the impact of genetics and inheritance in historical contexts.

Isaac Newton joined the Royal Society in 1672.
To answer this question, we should start by establishing how many scientists believe in a personal god, because the number who literally believe in creation must be somewhat smaller than this. * In 1998, a study by Larson and Witham appeared on the leading journal Nature ("Leading scientists still reject God"), showing that of the American scientists who had been elected to the National Academy of Sciences, only about 7 percent believein a personal god. * A study in Britain, undertaken by R. Elisabeth Cornwell and Michael Stirrat, involved sending a questionnaire to all 1,074 Fellows of the Royal Society who possessed an email address, offering several propositions and asking the scientists to rank their beliefs on that point from 1 to 7. About 23 percent responded and preliminary results indicate that, of these, 3.3 percent agreed strongly (chose 7) and 78.8 percent disagreed strongly (chose 1) that a personal god exists. A total of 12 Fellows chose 6 or 7 to indicate that they were believers. So, in the United States, 7 percent of eminent scientists believe in God. In Britain, just under 5 percent of eminent scientists believe in God. A lesser proportion would believe in creation.
A royal road to anything is a way of attaining it without trouble or effort, since a king's way (the royal road) is always made easy for him. One cannot attain learning - that is, knowledge got by study - without hard work.
Theodor Schwann did not receive any awards during his lifetime. However, the German Society for Neuropathology and Neuroanatomy (DGNN) now has a "Theodor Schwann-Prize" in his honor./Edit from a different person (BL)/:In 1839 - the same year as Microscopical Researches was published - Schwann, aged 28, became professor of anatomy at the University of Louvain, Belgium.In 1845 he was awarded the Royal Society Copley Medal for his cell work. This was the most prestigious prize in science, previously awarded to scientists such as Benjamin Franklin, Alessandro Volta, and Michael Faraday. Later recipients would include Rudolph Virchow, Charles Darwin, and Louis Pasteur.

The Royal Society of London was formed to encourage scientists to share experimental data.
The German scientist you are referring to is Wilhelm Karl von Kleist, who is associated with the genetic condition known as hemophilia, often called the "Royal Disease." This condition is carried by women (as a recessive trait on the X chromosome) but primarily manifests in men, leading to bleeding disorders. Hemophilia famously affected several royal families in Europe, particularly the British royal family.
Strange as it sounds the astronomer-royal Sir Edmund Halley came up with one in l7l7 A. D. Scientists were versatile in those times!
•E.g. Hemophilia "Royal Disease"
Many years ago, it was refered to as 'the Royal Disease" also the "Bleeding disease". Hemophilia B is also known as Christmas Disease.

The German Luftwaffe and the Royal Swedish Air Force both tested and used ejection seats in the 1930's. -Due to lack of creditable documents it's hard to say exactly when they were invented, but certainly before WW2.
Because of their links to the German royal family.

They asked when was it invented, not who invented it. The first road has been invented by persian (Iranian) and called by The Perisan Royal Road.
