I assume that ‘great’ is in the eyes of the beholder?

Definitely.
In my ‘most influential people ever’ game from 2010, I used the following as my criteria:
I don’t see any reason to differentiate between ‘great’ and ‘influential’, tbh. I also do not ascribe any moral value to the word ‘great’, not in this context anyway.
Bill Gates has already been nominated, so… using the criteria above… I’ll nominate:
Donald Trump.
Jennifer Doudna.
Robert Langer.
Drew Weissman.
Please read the OP again, and limit yourself to a three-word description of each nominee. Thanks!
Last call for nominations by noon EST today.
