Science, however does not necessarily cover doctors or nurses. Clara Barton and Florence Nightingale were not scientists. Jonas Salk was (in creating the Salk vaccine). Psychology is considered a science for purposes of this game.

Science: discovered/created a process that had potentially a significant affect on industry or development of society? Maybe the mystery guest had an ant farm as a kid, but that wouldn’t count. Maybe the person came up with something weird like orgone, but it’s widely regard as pseudo-science. That would be up to you to define with your answer, like “Known for science in a controversial sense,” depending on your mood.

EH, I’m going to assume 12 is “not known for science” because conditionals always lead me down wrong paths. I was trying to narrow down the nature of the single event in 14.
