Context: Emil G. Hirsch Metropolitan High School (formerly known as Emil G. Hirsch Metropolitan High School of Communications) is a public 4–year high school located in the Greater Grand Crossing neighborhood on the south side of Chicago, Illinois, United States.  Hirsch is part of the Chicago Public Schools system.  The school is named for reform movement rabbi Emil Gustav Hirsch.  Hirsch opened in 1926. Charles John Pedersen (October 3, 1904 – October 26, 1989) was an American organic chemist best known for describing methods of synthesizing crown ethers.  He shared the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1987 with Donald J. Cram and Jean-Marie Lehn.  His Japanese first name was Yoshio (良男 ) .  He is the only Nobel Prize laureate born in Korea other than Peace Prize laureate Kim Dae-jung. Nan Helene Bentzen Skille (born 12 February 1945) founder of The Sigrid Undset Society (1997) and author of the first biography in English of the Nobel Prize Laureate (1928) Sigrid Undset (1882–1949).  Skille has a Masters in English Literature.  She has been active as a promoter of the Norwegian author and Nobel Prize Laureate Sigrid Undset for many years, both through The Sigrid Undset Society, which she led for five years from its founding in 1997, as editor for the periodical "Gymnadnia" (1997–2003) and as member of the council for the Norwegian Festival of Literature (since 1995). Leslie Charles Coleman (16 June 1878 – 14 September 1954) was a Canadian entomologist, plant pathologist and virologist who worked as the second director of agriculture in Mysore State in southern India.  He conducted pioneering research on the pests and diseases affecting agriculture in the region and was instrumental in establishing several agricultural research institutions including the University of Agricultural Sciences, Bangalore and the Central Coffee Research Institute at Balehonnur.  His major contributions to plant protection included measures to control a rot disease of coffee caused by "Pellicularia koleroga" (now "Ceratobasidium noxium") known in southern India as "koleroga".  Coleman established an inexpensive control measure for another disease, also known as "koleroga", a generic name for rot-causing diseases in Kannada, that caused complete destruction in areca plantations.  Sprays of inexpensive Bordeaux mixture on the growing crowns helped control infection caused by what he described as "Phytophthora arecae" (now considered as "Phytophthora palmivora"). Dilbagh Singh Athwal (12 October 1928 – 14 May 2017) was an Indian geneticist, plant breeder and agriculturist, known to have conducted pioneering research in plant breeding.  He was a former professor and the Head of the Department of Plant Breeding at Punjab Agricultural University and an associate of Norman Borlaug, the renowned biologist and Nobel Laureate, with whom he has collaborated for the introduction of high-yielding dwarf varieties of wheat.  Popularly known as Father of Wheat Revolution, he was instrumental in developing ‘PV 18’ in 1966 and the most popular amber grained wheat variety ‘Kalyansona’ in 1967.  In 1967, he joined International Rice Research Institute's management team and ultimately served as the Institute’s first deputy director general.  His research has also returned several innovations in rice breeding and his body of work has been documented in a number of books and articles published in peer reviewed journals.  The University of Sydney conferred the degree of Doctor of Philosophy on him in 1955 for his contributions to agriculture and, in 1964, he received Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar Prize of the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research, the highest Indian award in the Science category.  The Government of India awarded him the third highest civilian honour of the Padma Bhushan, in 1975, for his contributions to biological science.

She conducted pioneering research in Southern Africa (among the Venda, Tsonga, Shona, Lozi, Bushmen), Central (among the Gbaya) and Kenya (among the Maasai, Samburu, El Molo, Rendille and unidentified hominids), which led her to develop the project "Totemic Geography of Africa "(TGA).  During her career, she has collected valuable fieldwork material (interviews, notes, audio and audiovisual recordings, photographs, objects) which now constitute a substantial archive.  She is the author of numerous scientific publications (articles, books and movies) in French and English. Marie Skłodowska Curie ( ; ] ; ] ; 7 November 18674 July 1934; born Maria Salomea Skłodowska; ] ) was a Polish and naturalized-French physicist and chemist who conducted pioneering research on radioactivity.
