| Bemærkning | Ernst Chain (1906 - 1979) was a German physiologist. With Howard Florey, and their colleagues he succeeded in systematically producing a pure form of penicillin at the beginning of the 1940s and in investigating its properties in more detail. Additional efforts led to a pharmaceutical that could be produced in larger quantities. He won the Nobel Prize for Medicine and Physiology in 1945.
David Ben-Gurion (1886 – 1973) was the first Prime Minister of Israel and widely hailed as the State’s main founder. He was born in Poland and at the age of 18 he became a teacher in a Warsaw Jewish school and joined the Socialist-Zionist group the Workers of Zion). Arriving in Israel in 1906, he became involved in the creation of the first agricultural workers’ commune. From the early 1920’s he served as a representative in the World Zionist Organization and Jewish Agency and was elected chairman of both organizations in 1935. Having led the struggle to establish the State of Israel in May 1948, Ben-Gurion became Prime Minister and Defense Minister. As premier, he oversaw the establishment of the state’s institutions. He presided over various national projects aimed at the rapid development of the country and its population.In late 1953, Ben-Gurion left the government and retired to Kibbutz Sde Boker in the Negev. He returned to political life, in 1955, assuming the post of Defence Minister and later the premiership. As Prime Minister, Ben-Gurion supported the establishment of relations with West Germany, despite bitter opposition In June 1963, Ben-Gurion resigned as Prime Minister. Linus Carl Pauling (1901 – 1994) was an American chemist. He entered the Oregon State College in 1917, receiving the degree of B.Sc. in chemical engineering in 1922. During the years 1919-1920 he served as a full-time teacher of quantitative analysis in the State College, after which he was appointed a Teaching Fellow in Chemistry in the California Institute of Technology. In 1925 he was awarded the Ph.D.) in chemistry. In 1922 he began the experimental determination of the structures of some crystals, and also started theoretical work on the nature of the chemical bond. After his appointment to the Staff of California Institute of Technology, Pauling was elected Research Associate in 1925; National Research Fellow in Chemistry, 1925-1926; Fellow of the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation, 1926-1927 (through this last he worked in European Universities with Sommerfeld, Schrödinger, and Bohr); Assistant Professor of Chemistry, 1927-1929; Associate Professor, 1929-1931; Professor, 1931. He was awarded the Nobel Prize for Chemistry in 1954. In 1963, he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. |
