    Throughout the presentation of the film, I learned very interesting facts about Gregor Mendel. Firstly, he was a part of the Augustine order. He would make friends of house mice, which he would then use in his breeding experiments. Father Ramsik did not support Gregor Mendel's experimentation at all and criticized his work by saying that it was secular. He believed that science experiments were not a proper occupation for an Augustinian friar. He believed that the monastery was built as a house of prayer and worship. The experiments conducted by Gregor also worried the Bishop. The Bishop did not like how Gregor was using animals as experimentation subjects and Gregor agreed to use plants instead. The Abbot of the monastery on the other hand supported and was fond of research and science. Aside from experimenting, Gregor Mendel was also trying to get his teaching certificate. After taking the test, one of the test examiners suggested that Father Gregor Mendel had to study more and that he should attend the University of Vienna for 2 years.…

    Melvin Calvin was an American biochemist who studied various fields of science. He made many important contributions to biology, and even more in the broad topic of science. Among his main interests were biology, chemistry, radiation chemistry, photochemistry, artificial photosynthesis, organic geochemistry, the origin of life, and uses of oils from plants for more energy sources. Of those many areas of research and experimentation, he made significant contributions of discovering the “dark” reactions/Calvin cycle, discovering the real source of energy for photosynthesis, separating immiscible solvents, helping with the biological safeties of the first landing on the moon, separating and decontaminating plutonium, and determining the structure for one of the Rh antigens. These contributions have all had a tremendous affect on science today, biology included.…

    He created his own school and taught kids his ideas on the world. He was the very first to actually study plants and animals in a scientific way and was a champion observer. He was also the first person to have the theory that Earth was the center of the universe but although that was wrong everyone respected him so much that they believed it for a very long time until somebody used modern day technology to prove that wrong and say that the sun was the center of the universe. He was also the person who said the movements of planets was circular so then they could go on forever but that is also wrong because they move in more of an oval shaped movement. That is a very big legacy to leave behind and he will be remembered for a very long time.…
