Plus:

  • The late inventor and scientist Sir James Dewar(1842-1923)(He’s probably best known today for his invention of the vacuum flask, which we would more commonly know as a Thermos – even though that company basically tried to capitalize on the fact that he had forgotten to file a patent for his invention. The good news?He recovered and had a great career. And by the way, no – he’s not related to the Dewar’s Scotch Whisky in any way.)
