Galileo Project entry:

There is no evidence of independent scientific work by Haak. He was an active correspondent who functioned as a link, first between Hartlib's circle and the so-called Invisible College and the continent (primarily Mersenne), later between the Royal Society and the continent. He was one of the men in the Invisible College, and John Wallis stated that Haak was the one who proposed the meetings in 1645.

Member: Royal Society, 1661-96. He became a fellow upon the nomination of John Wilkins. Member of the Council, 1677. He was part of the Commenian circle that formed around Hartlib in the late 30s. It included Dury and Pell; he remained in close touch with Pell until Pell's death. Intensive correspondence with Mersenne on behalf of the Hartlib circle, 1639-40. In 1647-8, until Mersenne's death, Haak revived this correspondence on behalf of the Invisible College.

In the Royal Society Haak continued his earlier function as a link with the continent. He was active in the promotion and maintenance of correspondence with scientists, especially in Germany. He proposed a considerable number of visiting Germans for membership of the Royal Society. His extensive correspondence with Pell survives. Intimate friendship with Hooke, after 1670s. Translated letters between Hooke and Leibniz, about 1680.

The English scientist and clergyman Stephen Hales pioneered the study of plant physiology, investigated role of gases in plant metabolism, made early studies of sap circulation in plants, contributed the first major account of blood pressure, and invented a machine for ventilating buildings. Author of Vegetable Staticks (1727), credited with inaugurating the science of plant physiology, Haemastaticks (1733), which developed the work of William Harvey by describing the pressure and velocity of blood in the veins. In 1739 Hales had received the Royal Society's Copley Medal for his investigations of the complaint known as 'the stone'. He spent a great deal of time trying to develop a solvent for stones in the bladder and the kidneys and actually devised a method of extracting stones from the bladder.

Honor: Copley Prize, 1739.

Marquis Who's Who, 2004.

English astronomer and geophysicist. Old-Earth advocate. Made first complete observation of a transit of Mercury (1677) while compiling catalog of southern stars; by his suggestions, encouraged Newton to write his Principia, which Halley published (1687) at his own expense. Conducted researches in navigation, published first magnetic sea charts (1701); Savilian Professor of Geometry, Oxford (1704). Editor, Royal Society's Transactions (1685-93). Best known for his study of comets; predicted accurately the return in 1758 of comet previously observed in 1531, 1607, and 1682 (subsequently known as Halley's comet). Also credited with originating the science of life statistics by his Breslau Table of Mortality (1693). Anglican, heterodox.

In addition to his findings concerning comets, Halley undertook a lengthy study of solar eclipses and discovered that the so-called fixed stars actually moved with respect to each other. He also wrote in favor of the theory that the universe is limitless and has no center. Halley's scientific interests, however, extended beyond astronomy. He played a major role in transforming the Royal Society from a social club into a well-respected clearinghouse for scientific ideas. He devised the first weather map and calculated the amount of salt deposited by rivers into seawater over millions of years, which allowed him to draw conclusions about the age of Earth. He also invented, developed, and tested one of the first practical diving bells. He served as chief science adviser to Peter the Great when the Russian tzar came to England in an attempt to integrate Western advances into his country's society. From 1698 to 1700, Halley commanded the Paramour, a Royal Navy ship, for a scientific expedition that studied the effects of Earth's magnetic field on magnetic needle compasses. He became Astronomer Royal in 1720 succeeding Flamsteed and continued to make astronomical observations and attend scientific meetings until shortly before his death. His full life was a testimony to the value of the pursuit of knowledge.

Oncologist. Professor of Immunohaematology, University of Southampton; Consultant Haematologist at the Royal Bournemouth Hospital.

From Tenovus News, n. 32, Winter 2003/2004:

A new road that runs through the Castlepoint development in Bournemouth, England, as named "Hamblin Way" in his honor. Hamblin recently became the fourth recipient of the prestigious Binet-Rai medal for his outstanding contribution to research into chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL) from The International Workshop on Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia. By sequencing the immunoglobulin genes of leukaemic cells, Professor Hamblin and his colleagues in Southampton and Bournemouth, Professor Freda Stevenson, Dr David Oscier and Dr Jenny Orchard, were able to show that those cases of CLL of whose genes had become mutated by passage through germinal centres in lymph nodes had a much better prognosis than those whose genes were not mutated. This heterogeneity was unexpected and against accepted wisdom, but was confirmed in a similar study by Dr Nick Chiorazzi from New York who was also awarded the medal. Both papers were published in the same issue of the medical journal 'Blood'. These observations have laid the foundations for a renaissance of the disease and it may now be possible to predict what will happen when they are first diagnosed. Some patients can be reassured that their disease will never kill them while others can be given the opportunity to have early treatment. Professor Hamblin's team are putting the final touches on designs for clinical trials to begin later this year.

Hartlib attempted to establish an Office of Public Address, partly to serve as a channel of intellectual communication. He was active in promoting useful inventions and information, especially those related to agriculture and medicine. The Comenian circle he headed was what Boyle called the "Invisible College."

Hartlib was energetic in promoting useful knowledge of all kinds, but especially on husbandry (or agriculture), on which he published a extensive number of works, most of them not by himself. Husbandry was for him an analogue of spiritual cultivation.

Hartlib published A Description of the Famous Kingdome of Maccaria, 1641, a utopian scientific state.

He published Essai de dioptrique in 1694 plus a number of papers. The Essai also contains the exposition of a general natural philosophy. He published a number of books on physics, which contain more on the philosophy of nature than on physics. His observations in embryology culminated in the homunculus.

Hartsoeker was always interested in optical instruments. He claimed to have developed a method of making small glass globules for microscopes, though his priority in this is doubted. He definitely made lenses of different focal lengths, some of which survive; one lens is said to have had a focal length of 600 feet. He made a number of instruments, not just optical instruments, for the Paris observatory. He constructed a burning glass of great size.

Testimony

"As I began to pursue knowing God through Jesus Christ, I also began seeking an intellectual foundation for my beliefs. To my joy, I found that the Bible's teaching about Jesus-His life, death and resurrection-stood up to an open, objective examination. While I can't run an experiment in the laboratory to "prove" the Bible to be true, there exist solid, objective data that support its authenticity and veracity. I found that the Bible we have today could be shown to be the same Bible that was written thousands of years ago. I learned that the Bible texts show first hand knowledge of the people, culture, language and customs of the times they described; they had all the earmarks of eye witness accounts. When examined by the accepted standards for legal evidence or for authenticating ancient historical accounts, they could be shown to be reliable and accurate reports of real events. Further, the events and teachings of the Bible were true to human nature and human society. Just as importantly, they described the real me; they were able to show me who I was and how I needed to allow God to change me."

Galileo Project entry:

Sustained experimentation of electricity began with Hauksbee. He also performed important experiments on capillary phenomena. Also on the propagation of sound in compressed and rarified air, on freezing of water, and on elastic rebound. He measured specific gravities and refractive indices. He investigated the law of magnetic attraction and the time of fall through air.

Scientific instruments for physical experiments--an improved air pump (though no one seems able to define precisely what Hauksbee's improvements were), and what was, in effect, the first static electric or frictional electric machine, a glass globe mounted on an axle, and also a primitive electroscope to detect electric charges.

Membership: Royal Society, 1705-13. He collaborated with Newton on experiments at the Royal Society, and influenced some of Newton's ideas, both with his capillary and with his electrical experiments.

" I suggest that the teachings of the Bible constitute the structural integrity of the Christian faith, which has to move with the times in a world where cultures are changing and knowledge is increasing rapidly."

Dr. A.R. Maxwell - April 11 2002. ON THE PASSING OF PROFESSOR, THE HONOURABLE,OLIVER ST. CLAIR HEADLEY"

"Members of staff would by now have heard of the death in Barbados on Monday 8^th April of Professor Oliver St. Clair Headley. Professor Headley joined the Department of Chemistry here at St. Augustine in 1967 as Lecturer, rose to the rank of Senior Lecturer in Inorganic Chemistry and then moved to the Department of Chemistry at Cave Hill, Barbados as Professor of Chemistry in 1992. While at the St. Augustine Campus Professor Headley served as Head of Department of Chemistry, Dean of the Faculty of Natural Sciences (as it was then called) and on several committees of the campus and the university.

He was a pioneering contribution to the development of teaching and research in Inorganic Chemistry at St. Augustine. Currently, one third of the lecturers in the department, including the most senior inorganic chemist on staff, were taught by him. However, it is for his research in the area of solar energy that he became best known locally, in the Caribbean region and internationally and for which he received many honours. He was proud of the national award - Companion of Honour - conferred on him by the government of his native Barbados in 1996.

At Cave Hill he was Head of the Department of Chemistry (1992 -1995) before being appointed Director of CERMES (Centre for Resource Management and Environmental Studies), a position he held until his untimely death. He was also the Director-designate of the Centre for Renewable Energy (CEFREN) that the government of Barbados is about to establish. Those of us who worked with Oliver Headley knew him as a man who engaged in work and hobbies alike with great passion and zeal. He served the University of the West Indies with energy and distinction and brought international acclaim and recognition to the institution.

On behalf of the Department of Chemistry, I wish to acknowledge his sterling contribution, to express our deepest sorrow at his passing and our heartfelt condolences to his family. May he rest in peace."

From the Priesthood to the Heavens: Maximilian Hell

From Fairfield University profile

Maximilian Hell was born into a family of engineers in 1720 in the city of Selmecz (Schemnitz), Hungary. His father was the chief engineer of the local mines and his brother invented an ingenious machine to pump water out of the mine shafts. After joining the Jesuits Maximilian taught mathematics, astronomy, physics and technology and attracted large numbers to his celebrated lectures. He also was a prodigious writer having no less than 35 entries in Sommervogel's Bibliography and requiring 20 pages of narration. Both his teaching and writings promoted a popular understanding and enthusiasm for astronomy, spreading Hell's reputation throughout Europe. Among his adventures were experiments in magnetism applied to medicine. This was unchartered ground.

"I try not to read more into a statement than is warranted, but I would take issue with the clear implication that the Lord Jesus Christ was simply a person when, in fact, He was God Incarnate and the Creator.

Galileo Project entry:

Hiaerne's contribution in applied chemistry included work on improved methods for producing alum and vitriols, and on rust preventatives. In the field of pure chemistry he worked on the problems concerning the formation of materials and the composition of bodies and ultimate particles. He is best known for his work on acid, which he produced through the distillation of ant specimens. He invented a varnish that kept wood from rotting.

He was a geologist and made an inventory of Sweden's minerals and natural resources (1702, 1706). This was his most interesting scientific accomplishment. He superintended the methods of mining and melting minerals. In 1682 he made a trip in Germany to study mines and melting-pots.

For a long period Hiaerne was Sweden's leading authority in medicine. He developed some medicines, some of which he distributed among the poor in Stockholm. The Laboratorium chemicum was more involved in the production of medicines than anything else.

Hiaerne developed the first spas in Sweden.

He was on the Board of Mines (Assessor in 1683, Vice Preses, 1713) and made a trip into Germany to observe methods.

Member Medical College, 1675-1724; Royal Society, 1669-1724. He knew Borrichius in Copenhagen and Denis in Paris. He was elected to the Collegium Medicum in 1675, and became president of the Collegium in 1696-1712.

Memorial, Immunogenetics periodical

From California archive obituary:

"[Hildemann was] professor of immunology and immunogenetics in the Department of Microbiology and Immunology, UCLA School of Medicine, and director of the Dental Research Institute...[he] earned the B.A. degree in zoology and the M.Sc. in genetics and biochemistry at the University of Southern California. He served from 1951-1953 as a first lieutenant in the First Marine Division during The Korean War. After the war, Bill studied immunogenetics and physiology with Ray Owen at the California Institute of Technology and was awarded the Ph.D. in 1956. He then became a postdoctoral scholar under Peter Medawar at University College, London, England. The Department of Microbiology and Immunology, UCLA School of Medicine, recruited Bill in 1957. He rose to the rank of professor and served as vice-chairman from 1966 to 1968. From 1968 to 1970 he served as acting chairman of microbiology and immunology. Over the years he held various interim appointments including senior postdoctoral fellow, the Jackson Laboratory, Bar Harbor, Maine; visiting professor, University of Otago Medical School, Dunedin, New Zealand; and senior fellow, Australian National Academy of Science, James Cook University, Queensland, Australia. In 1975 Bill served for one year as dean and professor of biology, Hilo College, University of Hawaii. From 1972 until his early death in 1983 he was director of the Dental Research Institute, UCLA."

"Bill Hildemann's scientific work fell mainly into three categories: immunophylogeny, immunogenetics, and immunologic enhancement. The first of these, immunophylogeny, began with his work on scale graft rejection in goldfishes and extended to some outstanding studies on graft versus host reactivity in a variety of lower species including cyclostomes, bony fishes, amphibians, and reptiles. Bill Hildemann was a pioneer in the field of primitive immune recognition of foreign grafts in lower invertebrates. He established foundations for a new discipline that has now evolved into a separate field. This work extended to the immune responsiveness of marine invertebrates. The second main area of Hildemann's endeavor, immunogenetics, included work on some of the weaker transplantation loci. From such work it was learned that non-H2 or HLA histocompatibility barriers are rather easily overcome by drugs or tolerizing treatments. Bill's book on immunogenetics was one of the two most widely recognized texts in the field in the seventies. The third area of Bill's work, immunological enhancement, was pursued by studying chronic transplant rejection. His work revealed how antibodies can affect the process and thereby ensure almost indefinite survival of transplants. This original work is the basis for the present success in foreign organ transplants. Bill initiated experimental animal studies on transplantation of the heart, liver, pancreas, and kidney from nonmatched individuals."

Galileo Project entry:

Corporis humani disquisitio anatomica, 1651, Highmore's most important work, was the first anatomical textbook to accept the circulation of the blood. In it he described the antrum of Highmore, which (obviously) still bears his name. The History of Generation, 1651, was the result of Highmore's collaboration with Harvey in Oxford. It contains references to a microscope, which he (in contrast to Harvey) may have used in embryology. This work also has important observations of plants. Both of his major works in 1651 contain a great amount of physiology. The Disquisitio clothes anatomy in the physiology of circulation.

Highmore wrote a number of medical works--Discourse of the Cure of Wounds by Sympathy, 1651 (printed with History of Generation); De passione hysterica et de affectionae hypochondriaca, 1660 (a work which engaged Highmore in a controversy with Willis ); Short Treatise . . . of Dysenteria, 1658; papers in the Philosophical Transcations (though Harvey was not a fellow), including one on the medicinal springs in East Somerset.

(1822-1875). English surgeon and author, son of John Howard Hinton (1791-1873), Baptist minister and author of the History and Topography of the United States and other works. After receiving his diploma in 1847, he was for some time assistant surgeon at Newport, Essex, but the same year he went out to Sierra Leone to take medical charge of the free laborers on their voyage thence to Jamaica, where he stayed some time. He returned to England in 1850, and entered into partnership with a surgeon in London, where he soon had his interest awakened specially in aural surgery, and gave also much of his attention to physiology. He made his first appearance as an author in 1856 by contributing papers on physiological and ethical subjects to the Christian Spectator; and in 1859 he published Man and his Dwellingplace. A series of papers entitled Physiological Riddles, in the Coruhill Magazine, afterwards published as Life in Nature (1862), as well as another series entitled Thoughts on Health (1871), proved his aptitude for popular scientific exposition. After being appointed aural surgeon to Guys Hospital in 1863, he speedily acquired a reputation as the most skilful aural surgeon of his day, which was fully borne out by his works, An Atlas of Diseases of the membrana tympani (1874), and Questions of Aural Surgery (1874).

Georgina Ferry. Excerpt from Dorothy Hodgkin: A Life,

(misspelled "Hodgkins" in Wicks's article below)

English physician. Quaker. First to describe (1832) Hodgkin's disease.

Hodgkin's son, Richard Howard Hodgkin (1877-1951) was born in Newcastle. He wrote A History of the Anglo-Saxons (1936).

Suzanne R. Wicks. "An Authentic Life: Thomas Hodgkins (1798-1866)," August 1999 Friends Journal:

He brought the first stethoscope [invented by René Théophile Hyacinthe Laennec, see entry] to an English teaching hospital, became the first Lecturer of a course in pathology, and founded and became the first curator of a pathology museum (where he classified and labeled all the specimens). His Quaker upbringing brought a keen sense of humanity to his medical practice. Beginning his life as a doctor in 1825, having qualified as a licentiate of the Royal College of Physicians, he received an appointment as physician to the London dispensary where the desperately poor of the almost one million population of London were treated.

It is for his Augsburg building programme (which included schools, guildhalls, warehouses, houses, and city gates) that he is known, although he also executed commissions outside the city. His most acclaimed building is the town hall (1615-20) with its famous "Goldner Saal," which combines classical and Germanic styles. He also designed Augsburg Zeughaus (1602-07) and WertachbruggerTor (1615).

Obituary, Contemporary Authors Online, Gale, 2004. "Holmes was an authority on the history of medicine and science. After earning a B.S. from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1954, he went on to receive his Ph.D. from Harvard University in 1962. He then returned to MIT as an assistant professor of humanities and history of science for two years. This was followed by eight years at Yale University. From 1972 to 1979 he was a professor in the same disciplines at the University of Western Ontario before going back to Yale. He spent the rest of his career there and played an important role in reestablishing Yale's doctoral program in the history of medicine. Holmes himself was a highly regarded expert in the field whose meticulous research into the processes by which scientists developed their theories and made their discoveries led to landmark books such as the two-volume Hans Krebs (1991, 1993), Lavoisier and the Chemistry of Life (1985), Meselson, Stahl, and the Replication of DNA: A History of the Most Beautiful Experiment in Biology (2001), and Reworking the Bench: Research Notebooks in the History of Sciences (2003), the last which he edited with Jürgen Renn and Hans-Jörg Rheinberger. Holmes gathered his data not only from interviews and trips to the library, but also by analyzing laboratory notebooks to reconstruct scientists' thought processes. He published ten books in all before his death, the last of which, completed just at before his death, being a study on geneticist Seymour Benzer."

Dutch naturalist, physicist, botanist, instrument-maker and chemist, b. Batavia, Java. Practiced medicine at Paris (1682-85, and after 1691) and Rome (1685-90); helped establish analytical chemical techniques in studies of acid-alkali reactions, etc.; discovered boric acid (1702).

Galieo Project entry:

In addition to his work of chemistry, part of which had a practical bent, Homberg developed a new sedative.

Homberg made his own microscopes and his own pneumatic machine. Apprently he developed the split ring socket tripod support for the microscope. More importantly, he made an instrument to measure the specific gravity of fluids.

All Homberg's work was published in the form of Mémoires of the Académie royale des sciences (1692-1714), mainly on chemical subjects. He also published on pneumatics and botany.

Member: Académie Royal des Sciences, 1691-1715.

English scientist involved in many disciplines including microscopy, mechanics, architecture, navigation, cartography and instrumentation. Also astronomer, geologist, physiologist, optician. Assistant to Thomas Willis in chemistry researches and to Robert Boyle with his air pump; propounded (1660) Hooke's law of elasticity; curator of experiments to Royal Society (1662); Gresham professor of geometry, Oxford (1665); surveyor of London and designer of Montague House, Bethlehem Hospital, and College of Physicians. Author of Micrographia (1665), in which he published results of his microscopic investigations; first used term cell to designate individual cavities observed in cork; discussed crystalline structure of snowflakes. Proved experimentally that center of gravity of earth and moon is the point describing an ellipse around sun; discovered fifth star in Orion; inferred rotation of Jupiter; discovered phenomenon of diffraction (1672) and propounded wave theory of light; suggested a kinetic hypothesis of gases (1678); anticipated Newton in formulation of law of inverse squares (1678); constructed first Gregorian telescope; invented a marine barometer.

Though mechanics was certainly his first love, Hooke turned to architecture after a great fire burned most of London in 1666. To help with the reconstruction of the city and to aid his colleague, English architect Christopher Wren (1632-1723), Hooke designed several prominent buildings, most of which still stand. Because his architectural interests took much time away from his scientific work, he was ultimately forced to retire as Curator of Experiments for the Royal Society in favor of his new vocation. Lunar Crater Hooke and Crater Hooke on Mars named in his honor.

Galileo Project entry:

Hooke's first publication was a pamphlet on capillary action in 1661. Micrographia, 1665, the first important set of observations with the microscope, included a theory of light. Micrographia also contained a theory of combustion with the analogy to respiration. Hooke performed experiments about respiration on dogs for the Royal Society.

Later Hooke delivered a series of lectures on light to the Royal Society. He was the first one to publish the phenomena of thin films and with the phenomena the suggestion that they were periodic. Lectiones cutlerianae state the law of elasticity that still bears Hooke's name (1678), and the suggestion that a vibrating string is dynamically equivalent to a pendulum. In another of the lectures he proposed the reform in the understanding of circular motion (substituting a force toward the center for one away from it), and with his he also proposed a celestial dynamics based on that principle.

He was very important in the development of all sorts of instruments, not only the microscope, and his writings on method stress the importance of instruments as aids to the senses. "Lectures and Discourses of Earthquakes," which were spread over a period of thirty years, make Hooke a major figure in early geology, especially in regard to fossils and to crystals.

Hooke ranged very widely and could be listed as well under a number of other sciences. He did a fair bit of astronomical observation; he was the first to infer the rotation of Jupiter. He tried to observe parallax. He wrote a discourse on comets. Physics (here subsumed under Mechanics), Natural Philosophy, Meteorology (he has been called the founder of meteorological science), and Music (to which he devoted attention, at the theoretical as well as practical level, throughout his life) would also be valid entries.

Scientific instruments: Modern air pump, wheel barometer, double barometer, the anchor escapement of clocks, spring driven watches, marine barometer, arithmetic machine, the first Gregorian telescope. Optical instruments, especially the microscope. He also developed a micrometer and applied telescopic sights to surveying instruments. His contributions to instrumentation go on and on-- suggested the freezing point of water as the zero point on the thermometer; proposed a weather clock to record barometric pressure, temperature, rainfall, humidity, and wind velocity on a rotating drum; proposed an equatorial quadrant; a number of different scales; a number of levels; a depth-sounding machine; a refractometer to measure the index of refraction of liquids; surveying instruments, a way-wiser attached to a carriage to measure distances.

Some of the instruments shade into mechanical devices--the first dividing engine, the first spiral gear (to adjust the setting of telescopes), the universal joint, the iris diaphragm, a lense grinding machine. In addition there were purely mechanical devices--a variety of carriages, a windmill that would turn itself to the wind, a new type of horizontal sail for windmills, a springy saddle, an air gun. His work on watches always had navigation, the determination of longitude, as its purpose.

Hook was involved in the work of rebuilding London city after the Great Fire as a surveyor and architect. He was architect of the Royal College of Physicians, Bethlehem (Bedlam) Hospital, the Monument, and a number of private houses including Montague House. He probably did a map of the polar regions for Pitt's English Atlas. He shared in the cartographical schemes of John Ogilby and John Adams.

Education: 1716, M.A., University of Copenhagen, 1716; M.D., University of Copenhagen, 1725.

Horrebow invented a way to determine a place's latitude from the stars. The method was soon forgotten despite its value until it was reinvented by the American astronomer Andrew Talcott in 1833. The method now bears both names. He learned how to correct inherent flaws in instruments long before Tobias Mayer introduced his theory of correction in 1756. He did in fact practice medicine in order to support his twenty children.

Member of the Académie Royal des Sciences (1725), the Berlin Academy (date uncertain), and Videnskabernes Selskab (Society of Scientists in Denmark) in 1747.

English astronomer. After correcting Kepler's Rudolphine Tables, made first observation of a transit of Venus (1639); assigned to the Moon an elliptical orbit with the earth at one of the foci; improved lunar theory; calculated long unsurpassed value for solar parallax; studied planetary perturbations.

John Houghton. "The Christian Challenge of Caring for the Earth"

Sir John Houghton in his book, The Search For God, p. 216: "Theology by its very nature should have very wide horizons. God, after all, if he is God at all, is involved in everything. Yet so often our view of God is a limited one; we allow him to be present in the spiritual side of life, but give him little say in more material things. Yet I have been at pains to point out the two revelations of God - the revelation in nature and the revelation in the person of Jesus. I began by suggesting that including God in the scientific picture is like the inclusion of perspective in a picture. But a picture is still a two dimensional image. Adding God's self-revelation in Jesus is like having binocular vision of a three dimensional scene. An appreciation of depth is present when a scene is viewed with both eyes or through a pair of binoculars rather than through one eye…Our appreciation of God is very flat unless we look at the whole range of his activity in an integrated way. …Science and religion are not poles apart. Both are searching for reality and truth…A common experience of those who pursue the search for God is the discovery that God is quietly but intently searching for them. If you feel that God is pursuing you, don't play hard to get!"

"It is with great sadness that we relay the unexpected passing on September 7, 2009 of Dr. Charles E. Hoyle, a pioneer and leading scientist in the photopolymerization and photochemistry fields. Charlie received a B.S. degree in Chemistry from Baylor University in Texas in 1972. He subsequently obtained Masters and Doctorate degrees in Chemistry under the direction of Professor Fred Lewis at Northwestern University, concentrating on small molecule photochemistry. After spending almost two years at the University of Toronto in Jim Guillet's lab dealing with polymer photophysics, he joined Armstrong World Industries in Lancaster, PA in 1978 where he investigated polymer photodegradation and photoinitiated polymerization. In 1983, he came to the University of Southern Mississippi, where he obtained dual appointments in Polymer Science and Chemistry. During his 25-plus years at the University of Southern Mississippi, he focused on all aspects of polymer photochemistry and photophysics including photopolymerization, photodegradation, polymer luminescence, and laser flash photolysis. He earned world-renown as a photo-chemist with special emphasis on the photochemistry and photophysics of polymers in which he studied the interaction of light with polymer molecules and also the use of light to initiate the formation of polymers. He is the author of more than 160 refereed publications. His work has been cited nearly 2500 times."

Physicist. Dr. Humphreys was awarded his Ph.D. in physics from Louisiana State University in 1972, by which time he was a fully convinced creationist. For the next 6 years he worked in the High Voltage Laboratory of General Electric Company. Since 1979, he has worked for Sandia National Laboratories[Albuquerque, New Mexico] in nuclear physics, geophysics, pulsed power research, theoretical atomic and nuclear physics, and the Particle Beam Fusion Project. Dr. Humphreys is an adjunct Professor of Geophysics and Astrophysics at the Institute for Creation Research in San Diego, a Board member of the Creation Research Society and is president of the Creation Science Fellowship of New Mexico. He is also the author of the book Starlight and Time: Solving the Puzzle of Distant Starlight in a Young Universe, Master Books, 1994 (ISBN 0-89051- 202-7) which details his white hole cosmology theory.

Russell Humphreys said in a 1993 interview: "I'm part of a fairly large scientific community in New Mexico, and a good number of these are creationists. Many don't actively belong to any creationist organization. Based on those proportions and knowing the membership of the Creation Research Society, it's probably a conservative estimate that there are in the US alone around 10,000 practicing scientists who are biblical creationists."

John Hunter was a Scottish physiologist and surgeon who lived during the eighteenth century. Considered the father of scientific surgery/modern surgical techniques, he is also well known for his large collection of anatomical specimens. Assistant to his brother William (1748-59); surgeon at St. George's, London (1756); staff surgeon with English army (1760-63); practiced in London (1763); took house pupils, among whom was Edward Jenner (q.v.); began to lecture on surgery (1773); surgeon extraordinary to George III (1776); surgeon general to army (1790). His investigations included venereal diseases, work relating to the descent of the testes in the fetus, course of the olfactory nerves, formation of pus, placental circulation, function of lymphatics, coagulation of blood, digestion in hibernating snakes and lizards, recovery of people apparently drowned, the structure of whales, bees, growth of deer's antlers; discovered that smaller arteries increase in size to compensate when circulation is arrested in larger ones; first to ligate artery for aneurysm (1785). Author of Natural History of the Human Teeth (1771), Treatise on the Venereal Disease (1786), Animal Oeconomy (1786).

John, the youngest of William Hunter's brothers, received no formal education. At the age of 20 he followed William south to London, and quickly acquired a reputation as an anatomist, which in time surpassed that of his brother. John Hunter made great advances in biological research, and built up a second Hunterian Museum, now housed at the Royal College of Surgeons, Lincoln's Inn Fields, London.

Royal College of Surgeons entry:

"William Hunter was born at Long Calderwood Farm near Glasgow in 1718. He matriculated at Glasgow University in 1731 and later studied medicine at Edinburgh. In 1741 he moved to London. William Hunter quickly became well-known as a physician, especially as an obstetrician, and built up a distinguished clientèle which included members of the Royal Family. He also established himself as a teacher of surgery and anatomy, and assembled a collection of anatomical and pathological specimens, which were used to support his teaching work. In 1768 he opened a medical school at his house in Great Windmill Street. As his reputation - and wealth - grew, Hunter also collected works of art as well as coins, books, manuscripts and curiosities. After his death in 1783 William Hunter bequeathed his entire collection to Glasgow University, where it formed the basis of the Hunterian Museum which opened in 1807."

From "Rick Douglas Husband," Biography Resource Center Online. Gale Group, 2004:

"One August morning, between his first space flight in 1999, and the one he would take in January 2003, Rick Husband told the congregation of First Presbyterian Church in his hometown of Amarillo, Texas that, 'As exciting as a ride on the space shuttle may seem, I have to say that it's not as important as my relationship with Jesus. If it came to a point where I had to choose one or the other, I'd give up the shuttle ride in a minute.'"
