What is Dorothy Hill's contribution to science?
Expertise on corals and coral reefs represents the scientific contribution of Dorothy Hill, AC, CBE, FAA, FRS [September 10, 1907-April 23, 1997]. Dr. Hill was the first female University professor and the only female president of the Australian Academy of Science.
Those honors were accorded her for her solid training and research in geology. Specifically, she received her Ph.D. from the University of Cambridge, England. Her dissertation dealt with a topic in the corals of Scotland. Before returning to Australia, she came up with the standard, systematized descriptions regarding certain corals. Back home, she mapped the limestone corals for every part of the continent country except for South Australia. Her work became the worldwide standard.

Why are there no famous women scientists associated with cell theory?
There are no women scientists associated with cell theory because the boys are being sexist.

Why did the scientist name silver argentum?
The Periodic table's symbol for silver is Ag and Argentum is also Latin for 'Payment' (I believe)... The root of the Latin word argentum is argent, meaning money. This meaning holds true today in the French language, as it did in Middle English and Old French linguistic periods. To frame the aforementioned time periods, most reference sources date the origin and use of the word argent to anywhere between 1450 - 1485. It is easier to trace the etymologies (word origins) of words if you can break a word down into its parts--usually consisting of one root/stem and a suffix, the latter of which denotes, amongst other characteristics, tense, plurality, possession and, as is true of the Romance, or Latin based languages, gender; virtues all dependent upon the structure of the suffix. Thus, argent may further be broken down into its constituents, which yields the root arg-, meaning white, to shine; silver. The suffix -ent, presumably, is a derivation of one or more principal suffixes, namely -en and -ence/-ency, meaning made of and quality, respectively. What we're left with is a substance made of silver or having the quality of shine.
It should be noted that the stem arg-, all its connoted meaning, and very possibly its inherent meaning, as would suggest the following, is the same in Greek, Armenian, Old Persian, Middle and Old French, Latin, as well as Sanskrit.

Why are trace fossils so important to scientists?
Anything a scientist can get their hands on to test are of interest and value to the scientist as well as the human race which gains information. The operative word 'trace' means that DNA can be extracted from this fossil, most fossils are long dried up and the elements have been absorbed back into the environment, and just an impression is left. With trace fossils there is some sort of tissues left.

Who is the father of genetics?
Gregor Mendel, a priest from a monastery in Central Europe. He entered the University of Vienna in 1851. He also taught at a nearby high school. While studying pea plants, he developed the punnet square, accurately predicting what traits the offspring will acquire from the parents, generation to generation. Gregor Mendel was considered as the father of genetics because he was the first one to understand how genetic inheritance worked.
However he had no mechanism for genetic inheritance as neither chromosomes nor DNA had been discovered. All he had was a predictable reproducible phenomenon. It took the work of others to discover these mechanisms that produce the phenomenon Gregor Mendel studied.
Why do scientists design experiments?
Scientists design experiments to test hypotheses and gather data to support or refute their theories. By designing experiments, scientists can control variables, ensure accuracy and reliability of results, and draw meaningful conclusions based on empirical evidence. Experiments allow scientists to investigate relationships between different factors and understand the natural world better.
Who is the American scientist who tested Oparian's theory?
The scientist who tested and proved Oparian's theory was Stanley L. Miller and Harold Urey.
When calculating force what units do you use?
Force is measured in foot-pounds or newton-meters.
AnswerIt depends on the force being measured. As mentioned above foot pounds (and inch pounds) are used to measure torque. Horsepower is a force measurement. MPH measures wind force. Then there's pounds per square foot (or square inch), etc. AnswerForce is not measured using foot-pounds or newton-meters. Both of those units are used for calculating work. Force is measured using newtons in the metric system, or Lbf in the English system. Horsepower is a power measurement, MPH is a velocity and pounds per square foot (or PSI) is a pressure or stress unit.See the recordings of temperature over the last 10 or 20 years. This could show an increasing temperature. Also, you could see how much of the ice has melted or the rise of sea level (not to be confused with tides). If the Earth is getting warmer, then more icecaps would melt, resulting in higher oceans and floods.

Essentially right but it would need records over a lot more than a couple of decades to show any long-term change because the climate and weather wobble about all the time.
