The French microbiologist and chemist, Louis Pasteur is another famous scientist, and is also the man who invented the pasteurization process. It is all down to this process that we can now drink milk with no need to breed cows. He also made breakthroughs in vaccinations, and managed to create vaccines for anthrax and rabies as well.
Pasteur studied the prevention and causes of diseases, and is credited to having saved countless lives. He is known to have made a big contribution to the “germ theory of disease” as well as how it was applied in scientific medicine. All of this led to him earning the title of “The Father of Microbiology”, and a place in history amongst the top 10 scientists of all time.
