Becky,
The story of Harold Edgerton is definitely inspirational in the areas of
light and creativity/invention. He invented the strobe light, the modern
camera flash, side scan sonar, pioneered high speed video and stop motion
photography. He played a significant role in D-Day and WWII with his
ability to take aerial night photography. He made all of Jacques Cousteau's
underwater camera equipment. The list goes on.
Our entire science center is dedicated to Doc Edgerton (a MIT professor for
more than 50 years) who grew up in our small town in Nebraska. It is not
hard to use his legacy to inspire visitors of all ages.

I am looking for scientists (current or past, but not your "standard" ones
like Einstein, Edison, etc.) with inspirational stories to tie in with the
following themes:
Creativity and Invention
Space Science
Earth Science
Health Science
Sound and Light
Energy (broader area)
Any suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks!
