Title: CHEMISTRY: Lavoisier
Lavoisier brought rectitude and rigor to France’s economic activity perhaps too much at times, and this came to haunt him during the revolution. It didn’t help that as a power broker in the Académie des Sciences, Lavoisier hand also slighted the scientific pretensions of future revolutionary leaders such as Jean-Paul Marat.
