      Robert Koch did some pretty amazing things, especially given the limited resources he had.

      John Nash, he won a Nobel Prize for inventing a new sort of maths, and had schizophrenia like me.

      Also Jocelyn Bell Burnell, who while she was still a student discovered a new sort of star which helped us find out how big the universe is, but her supervisor got the Nobel Prize for the work she did. She goes to the same church as me (Quakers) so I have met her a few times.

      Rosalind Franklin. Look her up! Without her we wouldn’t know the structure of DNA or anything really!
