Scientists Who Made History Pair Pack

Meet the people who shook the world with science! Being a brilliant scientist doesn’t have to be about sitting in a lab all day. The scientists in this series not only did amazing work; they led pretty amazing lives as well. Now it’s time to take a look at two key scientists who took their work way beyond the lab. There’s Dian Fossey, who went all the way to Rwanda in Africa to study and protect gorillas, but ended up dying a violent death. Plus: Isaac Newton. You probably know about his apple, but what about his life in a turbulent world of plague and politics? Science, boring? NOT!
