The Scientific Revоlutiоn trаnsfоrmed medicine with groundbreаking medicаl and biomedical research. One early pioneer, William Harvey, was the first to accurately describe the human circulatory system. His experiments proved that blood moved around the body through the expansion of the heart and the contraction of the arteries. Robert Hooke's interest in microscopes allowed him to demonstrate the cell structure of living tissue. He was the first person to use the word ‘cell’ in biology. Edward Jenner developed the first successful vaccine for smallpox in 1796. Smallpox was one of the deadliest diseases ever known to mankind, with an estimated 300-500 million people losing their lives to the disease throughout the 19th century. John Snow is widely regarded as the father of epidemiology – the study of the patterns and causes of disease in a population. Snow set out to prove that cholera, a deadly disease of the time, wasn’t caused by “bad air” as everyone thought at the time. His research proved the source of cholera was a contaminated public water supply. There were few women scientists during the Scientific Revolution because male-dominated schools did not permit women students and scientific societies barred them from membership. Many women made contributions, but due to the rigid gender lines of the time, they were often not recognized for their achievements. German astronomer Maria Winkelmann worked alongside her husband, and helped to develop astronomical calendars. In 1702, she became the first woman to discover a comet. Maria Sibylla Merian made her name in the field of natural history, particularly as an illustrator. She conducted scientific expeditions and illustrated the life cycles of insects and plants. Sophia Brahe, a Danish astronomer and scientist, worked alongside her brother in studying lunar eclipses. Her work helped scientists better understand how planets moved around the sun. Margaret Cavendish was involved in the Scientific Revolution in Britain. Cavendish used her social rank to attend a meeting of the Royal Society in London in 1667, the first woman to do so and the only one until 1945. A significant number of women also worked as technicians, artists, illustrators, teachers, patent clerks, and botanic researchers during the Scientific Revolution. QUESTIONS: 1. In what ways did the work of these scientists change our understanding of the human body? Be specific. 1. What challenges did women scientists face in the 16th and 17th centuries? What are some of the ways women scietists overcame these obstacles? Your answer must be in your own words- do not use direct quotes. Your answer must be a minimum of 75 words.
