Natural scientist. Dr. Keas is Associate Professor of Natural Science, Oklahoma Baptist University, 2000, and a co-designer of its planetarium. Previous: Graduate/Postdoctoral Research Assistant (Library Exhibition Designer), University of Oklahoma Libraries, History of Science Collections, September 1992 - June 1993.

He earned an M.A. (1989) and a Ph.D. (1992) in History of Science from the University of Oklahoma after undergraduate studies in history and the physical and life sciences (B.S., biology, 1984) at Christian Heritage College, El Cajon, California, and miscellaneous cources at
California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo. He experienced some of the last historic moments behind the Berlin wall as a Fulbright scholar in East Germany.

His independent and collaborative academic projects have received funding from agencies such as the National Science Foundation, the Templeton Foundation, and the American Council of Learned Societies. With support from Discovery Institute, he is writing a CD-ROM curriculum module with Stephen Meyer and Jonathan Moneymaker: "The Cambrian Explosion: Biology's Big Bang." The Cambrian explosion refers to the sudden appearance of most of the major animal body plans during a short segment of the Cambrian period of geologic time. He is also co-authoring and co-directing a planetarium show series entitled "Cosmology and Cultures."

Michael Newton Keas investigates how the history, philosophy, and rhetoric of science can improve science education and a liberal arts understanding of science itself. He has addressed this and related topics in presentations given (in German and English) at institutions such as the Akademie der Wissenschaften (Berlin), Humboldt University (Berlin), Wilhelm-Pieck-University (Rostock), Oxford University, Chemical Heritage Foundation (Philadelphia), Wright Center for Science Education (Tufts University, Massachusetts), and the University of Minnesota.

He has contributed articles to several scholarly anthologies and journals, including the American Chemical Society's Nobel Laureates in Chemistry (1901-1992) and the German centennial of A. W. Hofmann's death, Die Allianz von Wissenschaft und Industrie: August Wilhelm Hofmann (1818-1892).

"Christianity proclaims that there is a universal and undeniable need to know the Creator and that through Jesus Christ reconciliation of this estranged relationship is possible. Furthermore, failure to recognize our own inadequacy and to live in denial of this empirically verified fact is an example of being out of touch with reality, a spiritual psychosis, a condition of blindness that afflicts the vast majority of my colleagues. It is a curious fact that even among mathematicians the truth is not popular."

Scottish anatomist, iatromechanist, physiologist, physician, chemist. Anglican. Younger brother of John Keill.

Galileo Project entry:

Keill revised, completed, and published the translation of Lemery's Course of Chymistry, 1698. Anatomy of the Human Body Abridged, 1698--largely derivative although later edition incorporated Keill's own increasing knowledge of anatomy. Despite its derivative nature, it was the most popular English compensium of anatomy of its time.

Keill was an iatromechanist in the tradition of Pitcairne. His physiological theories showed up in later editions of the Anatomy. In 1708, An Account of Animal Secretion . . . and Muscular Motion, which drew heavily on the Newtonian concept of attraction, Keill was the first to calculate, on dubious grounds, the rate at which the blood flows. Essays on Several Parts of Animal Oeconomy, 1717, was the second edition of Secretion. Tentamina medico-physica, 1718, translated the Essays into Latin.

Keill attempted to relate his physiology to practice. His Medica statica, 1718, conclused with a number of health precepts and with two medical essays.

Keill's first publication, An Examination of Dr. Burnet's Theory of the Earth, 1698, was an attack on cosmogonical theories of the origin of the universe held by some mechanical philosophers. Keill became a propagator of Newtonian philosophy. Introductio ad veram physicam, 1725 (later also in English). Keill constantly compared the atheistic tendencies in Cartesian natural philosophy with the Newtonian philosophy.

He wrote an article on short range forces between particles in the Philosophical Transactions. He also wrote Euclides elementorum libri priores sex, 1715, with treatises on trigonometry and logarithms attached.

Keill became Newton's champion (or mouthpiece) in the priority dispute.

Computer science pioneer. From Vatican Observatory profile:

"[Keller] went to DePaul University in Chicago, where she received a B.S. in mathematics in 1943, and continued on to receive an M.S. in mathematics and physics in 1953. During her graduate studies, she was also affiliated with other universities, including Dartmouth, Purdue, the University of Michigan, and the University of Wisconsin. She was part of the University of Wisconsin-Madison’s brand-new computer science program, and received its first Ph.D. on June 7, 1965."

"This makes her one of the first two people in the United States to receive a doctorate in computer sciences (Irving Tang at Washington University in St. Louis received a Sci.D. on the same day), and perhaps the first woman ever to receive a Ph.D. in the field...After finishing her degree, the Sisters of Charity of the B.V.M. assigned her to Clarke College in Dubuque, Iowa. There, she founded and directed the computer science department, where she stayed for the next 20 years. During this time, she was a strong advocate both for women in computer sciences and for the use of computing resources in education. She founded the Association of Small Computer Users in Education...."

"Sr. Mary Kenneth Keller is most noteworthy for her role in helping develop the BASIC computer programming language. She had received an exception from what was then male-only Dartmouth College to attend their National Science Foundation workshop on computer science. At this workshop, she worked with John G. Kemeny and Thomas E. Kurtz on the implementation of the BASIC kernel. Keller also anticipated the ubiquity of computing in fields outside of computer science, as well as the development of artificial intelligence. The computer center at Clarke University is named in her honor. The university has also endowed a computer science scholarship that bears her name."

Galileo Project entry:

The second of Kellner's surgical dissertations is dedicated to Johann Langguth, a physician in the service of Duke Ernst of Saxony. It is possible that Langguth advanced Kellner in his work. A reference in his Schenkeldiener (1690) mentions that he wrote the book in 1683 when he was with Duke Heinrich, his prince and overlord, in Roemhild. The book itself is dedicated to Johann Scheib, the surgeon and barber of Gotha (the prince's city of residence) whom Kellner calls his friend and patron.

William (Lord Kelvin) Thomson is recognized as the premier scientific mind of the nineteenth century, and perhaps the greatest thinker since Isaac Newton (1642-1727). He originated new schools of thought in physics, thermodynamics, electronics, and mathematics. He was knighted in 1866 for his work in salvaging the first telegraph cable to span the Atlantic, became wealthy enough to own a 126-ton yacht and an estate, and in 1892 was made Baron Kelvin of Largs.

From Open Debate on Life’s Origins -- account of Kenyon's dealings with San Francisco State University:

"Kenyon is an authority on chemical evolutionary theory and the scientific study of the origin of life. After receiving a Ph.D. in biophysics at Stanford, he later completed post-doctoral work at Oxford, NASA and the University of California, Berkeley. In 1969, he co-authored a seminal theoretical work titled Biochemical Predestination. The book articulated what was arguably the most plausible evolutionary account of how a living cell might have organized itself from chemicals in the 'primordial soup.' "

"Kenyon’s subsequent work resulted in numerous scientific publications. As evidence rolled in during the late 1970s, however, he began to question his own earlier ideas. When run under realistic conditions, so-called “simulation” experiments repeatedly produced irrelevant sludge or low yields of desired amino acids. Further, molecular biology had revealed the presence of encoded messages along the spine of large biomolecules such as DNA. Both experiments and developments in a field known as information theory suggested that simple chemicals do not arrange themselves into such complex information-bearing molecules — without, that is, 'guidance' from human experimenters."

As for Kepler the scientist, he published two important works while he was in Linz. One was the Harmonice mundi (1618), in which his third law was announced. According to it the squares of the sidereal periods of any two planets are to each other as the cubes of their mean distances from the sun. The law was, however, derived not from celestial mechanics (Newton's Principia was still 6 decades away) but from Kepler's conviction that nature had to be patterned along quantitative relationships since God created it according to "weight, measure and number." Shortly after his first book appeared, he wrote in a letter: "Since God established everything in the universe along quantitative norms, he endowed man with a mind to comprehend them. For just as the eye is fitted for the perception of colors, the ear for sounds, so is man's mind created not for anything but for the grasping of quantities." In the Harmonice mundi he wrote merely a variation on the same theme as he spoke of geometry which "supplied God with a model for the creation of the world. Geometry was implanted into human nature along with God's image and not through man's visual perception and experience." "Johannes Kepler." Encyclopedia of World Biography, 2^nd ed. 17 Vols.

From Free Dictionary:

John Kidd was born in Westminster, the son of a naval officer. He was educated at Christ Church, Oxford. He became reader in chemistry at Oxford in 1801, and in 1803 was elected the first Aidrichian Professor of chemistry. He then voluntarily gave courses of lectures on mineralogy and geology: these were delivered in the dark chambers under the Ashmolean Museum, and there William Conybeare, William Buckland, Charles Daubeny and others gained their first lessons in geology. Kidd was a popular and instructive lecturer, and through his efforts the geological chair, first held by Buckland, was established. In 1818 he became a Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians; in 1822 regius Professor of medicine in succession to Sir Christopher Pegge; and in 1834 he was appointed keeper of the Radcliffe Library. He delivered the Harveian oration before the Royal College of Physicians in 1834.

Publications: Outlines of Mineralogy (1809); A Geological Essay on the Imperfect Evidence in Support of a Theory of the Earth (1815); On the Adaptation of External Nature to the Physical Condition of Man (1833).

Zoologist, scholar. Professor of Zoology at The University of Nairobi. Executive director, African Institute for Scientific Research and Development, ASA profile

George Kinoti. http://www.fum.org/about/triennial_George.htm. "… the Gospel of Christ is a holistic gospel. It is concerned with the whole of life. It is good news not only for our spiritual and moral lives but also for every aspect of life. Our world badly needs the holistic gospel of Jesus."

George Kinoti. Hope for Africa, pp. 52-54. "Why have the standards declined (in African Education)? The first reason is political interference in educational matters. In many African countries government has taken complete control of the educational system, including nationalisation of church schools and colleges. Professional educators have little say in educational policy or in the running of educational institutions in many African countries . . . If Africa is to have leaders of integrity, ability and a genuine concern for others, the Church must once again become a leader in the educational field. First, Christians need to play a leading role in the formulation of national educational policy."

MacTutor entry

(1601-1680) German Jesuit and scholar. Taught mathematics and Hebrew at the College of Rome (from c.1638); gave up teaching to study hieroglyphics and archaeology (1643). Credited with invention of the magic lantern.

Athanasius Kircher Links, with a Geoscience Bias:

Fairfield University entry

"German Jesuit archaeologist, mathematician, biologist, philologist, astronomer, musicologist, and physicist. One of the world's great polymaths, he knew Hebrew, Aramaic, Coptic, Persian, Latin, and Greek as well as various modern languages. Kircher was interested in all branches of science, especially in subterranean phenomena (volcanic forces in particular), in the deciphering of hieroglyphics (albeit incorrectly), the chronologgy of ancient Egyptian dynasties, and in linguistic relations. He also aided Bernini in the erection of an Egyptian obelisk in Rome's Piazza Navona and in the construction of his fountain. Kircher's frequently playful inventions included an early slide projector, a talking and eavesdropping statue that employed a primitive intercom, a chamber of mirrors, and a vomiting machine."

1911 Encyclopedia entry

His principal work is the Latin compendium Musurgia universalis, sive Ars magna consoni et dissoni (Rome, 1650; ed. by W. Goldhan, Leipzig, 1988), one of the most significant treatises on music, most notably for its originality. He also wrote Magnes, sive De arte magnetica (Rome, 1641; 2nd ed., rev., 1643), Ars magna lucis et umbrae (Rome, 1646), Oedipus aegiptiacus (Rome, 1652-54), Iter exstaticum coeleste (Rome, 1656), Organum mathematicum (Würzburg, 1668; in collaboration with C. Schott), Ars magna sciendi (Amsterdam, 1669), Phourgia nova, sive Conuigium mechanico-physicum artis et naturae (Kenpten, 1673), Tariffa Kircheriana (Rome, 1679), and Vita admodum reverendi P. Athanasii Kircheri SJ viri toto orbe celebratissimi (MS).

Galileo Project entry

Kircher described a device for measuring magentic force using a balance, promulgated the use of magnetic inclinations to find longitude, described a graduated aerometer, and described the method of measuring temperature by the bouyancy of small balls. He also designed and built sundials at Koblenz and Mainz.

From time to time he also did surveying and mapping, e.g., for the Elector of Mainz, and while in Narbonne (before he arrived at Avignon). In connection with this he developed a triangulation instrument.

1638, Kircher wrote and dedicated to Paul Lascaris, the Grand Master of the Order of the Knights of St. John (the Johanniterordens), a book for the use of knights designed to help them solve "the most important mathematical and physical problems." This involved a mathematical instrument, called Kircher's pantometer.

Connections: He acted as a kind of astronomical clearing house for observations between G.B. Riccioli, G.D. Cassini, and Hevelius. Kircher worked closely with Caspar Schott, S.J., and Joseph Petrucci.

Physician. From "Dr. Thomas Story Kirkbride":

Kirkbride was a founding member of the Association of Medical Superintendents of American Institutions for the Insane (AMSAII)-forerunner of the American Psychiatric Association-serving first as secretary, then later as president. Through this association and in his writings, Kirkbride promoted a standardized method of asylum construction and mental health treatment, popularly known as the Kirkbride Plan, which significantly influenced the entire American asylum community during his lifetime.

Knuth has made many contributions to mathematics and computing, such as the Knuth-Bendix algorithm, one of the fundamental algorithms for computing with algebraic structures, particularly with groups and semigroups. This important contribution, published jointly with his student Peter B. Bendix in 1970, attempts to solve solve the word problem in algebraic systems by deriving consequences of given relations to give, in some sense, a complete set. Another contribution, which has totally changed the whole way that mathematics is printed and communicated, is Knuth's invention of TeX, a language for typesetting mathematical and scientific articles. Other contributions: attribution grammar; the development of LR(k) parsing; the Knuth-Morris-Pratt algorithm which searches for a string of characters; and structured documentation and literate programming.

He was the first recipient of the Grace Murray Hopper Award from the Association for Computing Machinery in 1971; in 1974 he won the Alan M Turing Award from the Association for Computing Machinery; he was elected to the National Academy of Sciences in 1975; in the same year he won the Lester R Ford Award from the Mathematical Association of America; he was awarded the National Science Medal in 1979 (presented to him by President Carter); he was elected to the National Academy of Engineering in 1981; he was elected an honorary member of the IEEE in 1982 and awarded their Computer Pioneer Award in the same year; he was awarded the Steele Prize for Expository Writing from the American Mathematical Society in 1986; he was awarded the Franklin Medal in 1988; he was elected to the Académie des Sciences in 1992; he was awarded the Adelskold Medal from the Swedish Academy of Sciences in 1994; he was awarded the John von Neumann Medal from the IEEE in 1995; and the Kyoto Prize from the Inamori Foundation in 1996.

Andrews University biographical entry

Zoologist and Ph. D. in nematology. From CMI profile:

"Born in 1950 and raised in a traditional Afrikaans home, Johan was instilled with the fear of God and respect for His Word, the Bible, from a very young age. However, his faith was challenged when he sought advice from one of his 'agnostic' zoology lecturers at university—asking if it was possible to 'reconcile' the Bible with evolution."

"Over the next 10 years—and while reading up on both sides of the creation/evolution controversy—he completed an M.Sc. in animal reproductive physiology in 1982, and a Ph.D. in nematology in 1986. He also worked as a technical/research assistant, and then as a postdoctoral research fellow."

"Later, as a senior zoology lecturer at a local university, he was responsible for Human and Sports Physiology courses, and also developed Biology courses for a teachers training program. He has authored/co-authored 22 research articles which have been published in peer-reviewed scientific journals."

Physical chemist, Environmental scientist.

His research interests included radiocarbon dating and other isotope geochronology, and in 1960 he published a widely cited geologic time scale (Rep. International. Geological Cong. 21^st Session, Part III, p. 18-27). With Maurice Ewing, he was one of the leaders in the development of the Lamont Geological Observatory of Columbia University. In the mid-1960s he left academia to work for Isotopes, Inc., Teledyne, and Weyerhauser. In the 1980s he was the Reagan Administration's director of the National Acid Precipitation Assessment Program, and he was noted for a controversial report arguing that relatively little forest had been damaged by acid rain. He later was an expert for the American Council on Science and Health, a corporate-funded group dealing with environmental issues. As recently as 1997, he was an adjunct faculty member at the University of Washington and lecturing on the long-term availablity of natural resources. From University of Georgia.

Qualifications: Ph.D. in physical chemistry, Princeton University (1945); M.S., Ohio State University (1943); M.A., Princeton University (1944); B.S., Wheaton College (1942); Consultant, energy and environmental issues; Fellow, American Chemical Society; and author, "Phytosphere as a Sink for Carbon Dioxide," Electric Power Research Institute (1990), and "Interim Assessment, National Acid Precipitation Assessment Program," U.S. Government Printing Office (1987).

Swedish chemist, alchemist, pharmacologist, instrument-maker.

Galileo Project entry

Kunckel was deeply involved in alchemy. As a chemist he had something to do with phosphorus, and he contributed to the chemistry concerned with glass. In 1679 he published a translation of Neri's Ars vitraria, augmented by himself.

Kunckel experimented with chemistry to produce valuable colored glass. His ruby glass, which was produced by introducing gold, was his greatest achievement, though he produced others as well. He also published a practical text on glass making in 1679. Kunckel improved upon the furnace used in glassmaking.

Member: In 1693, member of the Academia Caesarea Leopoldina, taking the name "Hermes." In 1699, Académie Royal des Sciences.
