One of the probably forgotten/unsung heroes of the scientific world - Dr C. C. Patterson, who fought the lead industry over decades to get them to see that lead was in fact harmful to humans in much much smaller quantities than they randomly estimated. They sought to discredit him and ruin his career apparently, but the guy just wouldn't give up and I'm glad. Oh and he also managed to provide evidence to validate the estimated age of Earth. So I think he deserves a little remembrance.
