Which scientist contributed to the discovery of chemotherapeutic agents in the 20th century?

Paul Ehrlich, a German scientist, made significant contributions to the discovery of chemotherapeutic agents in the 20th century. He developed the concept of "magic bullets," which aimed to selectively target disease-causing organisms without harming the body. Ehrlich's work laid the foundation for the development of modern chemotherapy drugs used to treat various diseases, including cancer.

What do scientists do when they get different data after repeating an investigation?

Usually a simple selection method like eeni meeni miini mo, unless of course someone else or other people are present; In that instance they would simply perform the stair trick routine behind their workbench where, once 'downstairs' they would quickly take to the conflicting results (which disproved what they thought they had proven) with a bunsen burner, gas tap turned to high; Returning back 'up the stairs' a triumphant powerfully intelligent individual with a big secret.

What scientist discovered some basic rules about inheritance?

Gregor Mendel, an Austrian monk, is credited with discovering the basic rules of inheritance through his experiments on pea plants in the mid-19th century. Mendel's work laid the foundation for modern genetics and our understanding of how traits are passed down from one generation to the next.

Who are considered Handicapped Person?

It depends strongly on the government jurisdiction. Indeed, in all or most Canadian jurisdictions the word 'handicapped' is often avoided altogether because of the negative connotations that have come to accompany this word, not to mention the implication that some people are incapable of most of what the rest of us are.

Most typically, I think, a disabled person is one who is unable to walk or climb stairs without special aids. It could be a person whose vision is so poor that they cannot readily move about outside their homes. It probably includes people whose intellectual development is insufficient for them to participate in the usual formal education system or to find unsupported employment.

Why should scientist be verey careful when releasing to the world their recent findings?

Yes they should be careful. When such information gets out to the public anything can happen , as people we have opinions and we have thoughts and all that leads to actions taking place so too much knowledge can cause a bad ending. Some people aren't ready for new truths and findings.

Why is collaboration of scientists progress of science?

All knowledge builds off of other knowledge. We build off of things we know to grow knowledge further, rather then having every person discover everything again for themselves.

This concept is often simplified by the famous quote about standing "...on the shoulders of giants, so that we can see more than they, and things at a greater distance...". -Bernard of Chartres

In this way, we take in the knowledge of the past, and improve it. Each generation does not have to invent the wheel in order to build the wagon, we don't have to invent the wagon to invent the cart, and we don't have to invent the cart to invent an automobile.

Modern science is in the same way reliant on the knowledge of other scientists. When knowledge is horded, that knowledge must be re-acquired by others just as wise as those who first discovered it, which takes away time they could have spent moving knowledge further.

This is a simplification of the core issue, though the addition of large financial investments and legal issues complicates it greatly.

Why arent most of Nikola Tesla's inventions used today especially the invention of transferring electricity without having to use cable in between power outllets?

transferring energy for free meant the investors would not get a way to bill the users. Greed is the word.

They are using his inventions.

More devices are coming out with contactless charging. You just place the item on a charging mat or holster. The charge is transferred using coils.

Why Albert Einstein so clever?

For me, he so clever because he has been given as a gift to become a smart man. You see, everybody have different kind of potential and talent. But some people don't have any potential and talent at all. So... Albert Einstein potential and talent was his intelligence. The World Smartest Man in the world of history. That's my opinion.

Why do scientist should be open minded?

Because if scientists aren't open-minded, they could try to discredit or change the results of a valid experiment, or not accept a theory that may actually be right, and discredit the theory, therefore stopping progress in science.

3. A scientist is open-minded and free of bias.

4. A scientist is intellectually honest.

No, not necessarily as some scientists simply propose ideas and theorems to later be experimented by other scientists

How do seismographs help scientists study the earth's interior?

Seismic waves bounce off things inside of the Earth, helping scientists figure out it's interior. An example is like if you taped a block in a box, put a marble inside of the box, and closed the lid. By tilting the box, the marble would roll and you'd get a pretty good idea where the block is located.

How does the way scientists today develop ideas differ from the way the greek developed ideas?

The main difference is that the ancient Greeks - indeed practically everyone until the 17th century - used to simply believe what eminent people said; Aristotle said that house flies had four legs and that was the belief for hundreds of years. Ptolomy said that sailing over the equator would make a ship catch fire and everyone believed him.

Nowadays, scientists employ the scientific method which, at its simplest, was described to me as "someone says something is true and everyone else tries to prove him wrong."

Another more subtle difference is that Greek philosophers would probably claim they searched for truth; modern scientific progress is made by demonstrating existing theories false - so it's more a search for falseness than truth.

How long do scientists think that mineral resources will last?

The longevity of mineral resources varies depending on factors such as demand, technology advancements, and new discoveries. Estimates suggest that some mineral resources may last for centuries to millennia, while others may face scarcity within the next few decades. Sustainable practices and efforts to recycle and find alternative sources can help extend the availability of mineral resources.

Who were some famous seismologists?

Some famous seismologists include Charles Richter, who developed the Richter magnitude scale for measuring earthquakes, and Inge Lehmann, who discovered Earth's inner core. Hiroo Kanamori is also renowned for his contributions to understanding earthquake mechanisms.
