Biography:
Berzelius (20 August 1779 - 7 August 1848) was a Swedish chemist. He worked out the modern technique of chemical formula notation and is, along with John Dalton, Antoine Lavoisier, and Robert Boyle, considered one of the founders of modern chemistry. He began his career as a physician but his researches in physical chemistry were of lasting significance in the development of the subject. He achieved much in later life as secretary of the Swedish Academy. He is known in Sweden as the Father of Swedish Chemistry.

Biography:
Carl Ludwig Willdenow was born in Berlin in 1765. In 1785 he started studying botanics and medicine at the University of Halle, from which he graduated in 1789. After his graduation he worked as a pharmacist and subsequently, in 1801, became the director of Berlin's Botanical Gardens. There he studied many South American plants, brought back by the explorer Alexander von Humboldt. He was interested in the adaptation of plants to climate, showing that the same climate had plants having common characteristics. His herbarium, containing more than 20,000 species, is still preserved in the Botanical Garden in Berlin. He is most famous for his synthesis of European plant geography, and his mountains origins theories. He is considered one of the founders of phytogeography, the study of the geographic distribution of plants. Willdenow was also a mentor of Alexander von Humboldt, one of the earliest and best known phytogeographers. Next to being a correspondent of the Royal Society of the Netherlands, he was also a foreign member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences.
