Louis Pasteur
Louis Pasteur (December 27 1822 – September 28 1895) was a French microbiologist and chemist. He is known to the general public for his demonstration of the germ theory of disease and his development techniques of inoculation, most notably the first vaccine against rabies; however, he also made a major discovery in the field of chemistry, regarding asymmetric molecules and the polarization of light.
