And only one, mainly because I know her:

Laurie Santos, Yale. Psycology. Helped author the recent article "The Origins of Cognitive Dissonance: Evidence From Children and Monkeys"

I know the typical ones (goodall, curie) already named above so I won't reuse them - but I actually can't remember any more.

In fairness, I read a heck of a lot of sci-fi, always have - and yet I never remember an author's name... So unless someone inspires some specific love or animosity (like Venture) I probably wouldn't remember them anyway.
