Griechische Wissenschaftler

For the first time the nation surveys the hideous spectacle of its ignorance and trembles in measuring with the eye the distance separating it from its ancestors’ glory. This painful discovery, however, does not precipitate the Greeks into despair: We are the descendants of Greeks, they implicitly told themselves, we must try to become again worthy of the name, or we must not bear it. Adamantios Korais before a Parisian audience in 1803.

Microbiology

Angeliki Panajiotatou (1875 – 1954) The first Greek woman to be accepted as a student at the Medical School of Athens University. The first woman to become physician, microbiologist and professor of Hygiene at the National University of Athens but students refused to attend her classes and she resigned. She went to Egypt and accepted a Professorship at Cairo University. There she became recognized internationally for her research on tropical diseases, such as cholera and typhus.
