An easy way to make a historical link to science is through biographies. These vary greatly in quality and the nature of the information. Examine the examples below and think about how they might be useful in providing a more three-dimensional image of science and the scientific process to your students.
Pioneer microbiologists Louis Pasteur [local] and Robert Koch.
Hans Krebs who elucidated the flux through the citric acid cycle.
Melvin Calvin [local] who elucidated the major pathway for CO2 fixation.
Peter Mitchell [local] who first proposed that ATP was produced from metabolism by chemiosmotic coupling.
Maud Menten [local] who helped determine how an enzymatic rate depended on substrate concentration.
