	Frankenstein Unbound
		His acting is not bad, but the way he portrays Frankenstein seems unsuitable- way too over the top, with a hint of humour, completely unlike the scientist of the novel.
		It is also incredibly unlikely that if Frankenstein had been a foul, middle aged madman, Mary Shelley would possibly have turned him into a young and honourable gentleman in the novel.
		At first it sounds like it could still be one of those ‘bad but enjoyable’ films, and that is how it seems at the start, but by the end it is embarrassingly dreadful and an insult to Mary Shelley’s original masterpiece.

	The New Yorker: The Critics: Books
		Galton might have puttered along for the rest of his life as a minor gentleman scientist had it not been for a dramatic event: the publication of Darwin’s “On the Origin of Species,” in 1859.
		Galton’s creed had aimed at the uplift of humanity as a whole; although he shared the prejudices that were common in the Victorian era, the concept of race did not play much of a role in his theorizing.
		Galton went on to develop a measure of the strength of such fuzzy relationships, one that could be applied even when the things related were different in kind—like rainfall and crop yield.

	Adam Sedgwick (1785-1873)
		This greatly improved Darwin's reputation as a scientist; he was inducted into the Society shortly after his return.
		Sedgwick's work placed him at the epicenter of one of the most heated geological controversies of his day, stemming from his work with the gentleman geologist Roderick Impey Murchison.
		Sedgwick is said to have remarked, upon being appointed Woodwardian Professor, "Hitherto I have never turned a stone; henceforth I will leave no stone unturned." In 1822 he carried out fieldwork unraveling the complex geology of the Lakes District of northern England, armed with the new discoveries and techniques of William Smith.

	Rocky Road: William Smith
		Roderick Murchison, another gentlemanly scientist, had found a geologic formation that he believed preceded the appearance of any land plants, and consequently any coal.
		George Bellas Greenough was an affluent gentleman (whose wealth had come from an ungentlemanly apothecary grandfather) serving as the first president of the Geological Society of London.
		Smith was a yeoman and civil engineer who came from the wrong side of the tracks, and there he spent much of his life.

	Count of St Germain - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Count of St. Germain († February 27, 1784) was a courtier, adventurer, inventor, amateur scientist, violinist, amateur composer, and a mysterious gentleman; he also displayed some skills with the practice of alchemy.
		Some of the more plausible include the possibility that he was the son of Francis II Rákóczi, the Prince of Transylvania (who was in exile), or that he was the illegitimate son of Marie-Ann de Neubourg, the widow of Charles II of Spain.
		While he may have studied in Italy at Siena University, possibly as a protégé of Grand Duke Gian Gastone (the last of the Medici line), St. Germain's first chronicled appearances were in London in 1743 and in Edinburgh in 1745, where he was apparently arrested for spying.

		However, Kurt Freund was known best for his pioneering development of the penile plethysmograph (PPG), a method for assessing sexual interest among men.

	SHiPS Resource Center Boyle's Law, Bunsen's Burner & Petri's Dish
		Boyle was a "gentleman" scientist--and was more forthright than most in acknowledging his technical assitants--yet he certainly now carries all the credit for work that was only partly his.
		For Boyle and others of his day, laws were universal, and they expressed principles of how nature should act (akin to human laws).
		The tradition of professional credit was developed in the late 1600s in part to encourage those who made discoveries to share their work and allow others to build on them.

		Karloff also played many supporting parts out of character, notably as a religious fanatic in John Ford's The Lost Patrol (1934), but he remained identified in the public mind exclusively with his roles as a scarred, tormented, humanely vulnerable monster or a deranged scientist.
		In contrast, Karloff was known as a mild-mannered, amiable gentleman who performed many acts of charity for needy children.
		He was typically cast as a stock villain and failed to gain much recognition through the rest of the silent era, although he appeared in no less than 40 silent films.

		In testimony on the measure, Janine Arvizu of Tijeras, described by the Albuquerue Journal as "a scientist and supporter of cockfighting," testified that watching cockfighting causes less emotional stress on children than a college basketball game: "My child is safer at an organized cockfight than she is at a (New Mexico) Lobo basketball game."

		Daniel Moreau Barringer's struggle to prove his theory about the impact origin of the crater is an example of the enormous difference that one determined individual can make - even if that individual is a non-scientist working to change the prevailing scientific view.
		Barringer's attempts to convince the scientific community of the truth of his theory were, of course, intimately connected with his growing need to raise capital for continued drilling.
