Gregor Mendel
Gregor Johann Mendel was a German-speaking Moravian scientist and Augustinian friar who gained posthumous fame as the founder of the modern science of genetics.

Keeping the peas. Mendel did not set out to conduct the first well controlled and brilliantly designed experiments in genetics. His goal was to create hybrid pea plants and observe the outcome. His observations led to more experiments, which led to unusually prescient conclusions. By simply counting peas and keeping meticulous notes, Mendel established the principles of inheritance, coined the terms dominant and recessive, and was the first to use statistical methods to analyze and predict hereditary information. For eight years, Mendel cultivated thousands of pea plants and used a paintbrush to painstakingly transfer pollen from one plant to another to make his crosses (all the while still attending to his duties as a monk and a teacher).

Mendel becomes a monk. His professor recommended Mendel to the Augustinian monks in Brunn (now Brno), who valued science, research, and education. His professor thought he would be a good candidate because of his talent in physics and mathematics. Even though Mendel had not planned to be a monk, he was admitted to the order on September 7, 1843.

After the peas. In the years following the publication of his work, Mendel continued his interest in science, he attempted cross breeding experiments with hawk weed and bees and became a meticulous record keeper of meteorological and astronomical data. He was elected abbot of his parish in 1868 and became a political activist in his later years, during which time he protested the taxation of his parish. At age 61, he died of kidney failure.
