Good start for an interesting blog. Somehow scientists are usually not among those faces the Governments tend to put on money (as the politicians occupied this space for themselves). More exciting will it be to see the differences among different nations honoring their scientists.
ReplyDeleteAn interesting thing would be to see if there is a correlation between the number of Nobel prize winners and the number of those appearing on coins and notes of respective nations. Another intriguing task would be to see which states tend to favour scientists on their currencies.
Good luck to you in your beginning.
