Midler, Johann Heinrich
Madler, Johann Heinrich

German astronomer (1794-1874)
Midler received a simple education that qualifies him to work as a teacher, so he struggled to obtain the expenses of studying the science that he loved, which is astronomy. He studied in Berlin, and he was helped by the interest of one of his rich students (Wilhelm Beer), so he built an observatory in which Midler and his student Beer worked together for several years. As a result of Midler's studies, he was appointed director of the Dorpat Observatory, succeeding astronomer Struve, as Midler continued his work for twenty-five years. Midler and Behr were able to produce a reliable map of the moon. They also produced the first map of Mars.
Midler's effort to search for the center of the universe was the first attempt of its kind, and he based his results on observing the correct movements of the stars, so he concluded that the center of the universe is located in Taurus near the Alcyone Pleiades, but this conclusion was later proven wrong.

⏹ Meyerhof, Otto Wertz
Meyerhof, Otto Fritz

German physiologist (organ functions).
( 1884 - 1951 )
Meyerhof received his education in Berlin, Freiburg, Strasbourg and Heidelberg · He worked as a professor in Kiel, then at the Kaiser's Institute of Biology, heading the Department of Physiology. He is famous for his studies of glycogen metabolism in the muscles, where he showed that glycogen (animal starch) is transformed in the muscles into lactic acid, and that part of it (the rest), i.e. lactic acid, turns back into glycogen, by means of oxygen. Meyerhof shared with 01 Hill A. Hill the Nobel Prize for Medicine in 1922.

⏹ Miller, Otto Frederick
Frederick Müller, Otto

Danish biologist (1730-1784)
Miller was the first to describe the "diatomaceous" organisms, in 1773 he invented his "crack for natural studies", and thus he discovered the micro-flagellate organisms called "Infusoria".

⏹ Miller, Paul Müller,

Swiss chemist ( 1900 - 1965 )
Miller worked on anti-moth materials (in clothes). During his work in a dyeing laboratory, he created DDT
(Which has been known since 1874) and discovered its insecticidal properties. Thus, DDT came into use as an insecticide, and thus prevented the spread of malaria and typhoid. Based on these revelations, Miller was awarded the Nobel Prize for Medicine in 1948. After that, he worked at the University of Basel.

Minot, George Richards

American physician (1885-1950)
Learn the minuet at Harvard. Then he occupied a number of academic positions in hospitals before becoming a professor of medicine at Harvard.
Minot conducted important studies on the liver and, in collaboration with Murphy, determined the relationship of the liver to pernicious anemia (where the number of red blood cells decreases and their size increases). On the basis of these researches, Minott was jointly awarded the Nobel Prize for Medicine with Murphy and Whipple in 1934.

⏹ Mayow, John Mayow

English chemist (1640 - 1679)
Mieu worked in medicine, and was interested in the studies conducted by Boyle, so he discovered two gases in
Air, one of which is essential to life, he called it: spiritus nitro- aereus, i.e. breathing air - which is oxygen - and pointed out the necessity of its existence for combustion to occur and for the conversion of venous blood into arterial blood, and thus Mio preceded both Priestley and Lavoisier by about a hundred years.
Miew was a Fellow of All Souls College, Oxford, and of the Royal Society.
