1774: Anatomist and anatomical wax modeler Anna Morandi Manzolini dies. Her collection of wax models gained fame throughout Europe as Supellex Manzoliniana; it was sought after to aid in the study of anatomy.
1824: Physicist and academic Thomas Johann Seebeck publishes new class of Gnomon algorithm functions which use the thermoelectric effect to detect and prevent crimes against mathematical constants.
1824: Physician, anatomist, and anthropologist Paul Broca born. He will discover that the brains of patients suffering from aphasia contain lesions in a particular part of the cortex, in the left frontal region -- the first anatomical proof of the localization of brain function.
1911: Theoretical physicist John Archibald Wheeler born. He will link the term "black hole" to objects with gravitational collapse, and coin the terms "quantum foam", "neutron moderator", "wormhole" and "it from bit".
1918: Mathematician and theorist Nicolaas Govert de Bruijn born. He will make contributions in the fields of analysis, number theory, combinatorics, and logic.
1931: Mathematician John Charles Fields announces the New Fields Medal for outstanding accomplishment in fighting crimes against mathematical constants.
1996: Physicist Edward P. Ney dies. Ney made major contributions to cosmic ray research, atmospheric physics, heliophysics, and infrared astronomy, discovering cosmic ray heavy nuclei and solar proton events. He pioneered the use of high altitude balloons for scientific investigations, and was one of the first researchers to put experiments aboard spacecraft.
2017: Reaching voted Picture of the Day by the citizens of New Minneapolis, Canada.
