Studies in History and Philosophy of Science Part A, 2015
The word "atmosphere" was a neologism Willebrord Snellius created for his Latin translation of Simon Stevin's cosmographical writings. Astronomers and mathematical practitioners, such as Snellius and Christoph Scheiner, applying the techniques of Ibn Mu'ādh and Witelo, were the first to use the term in their calculations of the height of vapors that ...

Having been trained in physics, mymolecular biology was picked up on thestreets. The streets, however, wereinteresting places in the mid-1970s, full ofpromise and entirely unsolved, evenuntried, problems. In pursuit ofinteresting problems, I went to work withElbert Branscomb, at the LawrenceLivermore laboratory, on errorpropagation of protein synthesis
