I recognize the photos but the question reminds me of recent threads with group photos of STEM teams from previous centuries where one woman appears surrounded by men.
If Astronomy, "Identify Henrietta Swan Leavitt".
If radiation Physics, "Point out Marie Curie".
If history of computing, "Find Ada Lovelace."
There are examples from many other disciplines if the point requires more emphasis.

Possibly, I thought third row third photo was Ernest Rutherford.jedishrfu said:

Yup you got it, I was just about to post that too. I kept circling around with Thompson, Compton, Eddington... and completely forgot Rutherford.

Yes, I thought Thompson first, which brought me to Rutherford. Certainly both contributed so much.jedishrfu said:
I also like the old lab gear in the McGill University Rutherford photo.

So we got Planck, Bohr, Einstein, Dirac, Pauling, Rutherford, Schroedinger, Curie and Pauli.
Ok, Thanks everyone

I couldn't sleep, because of this book cover. But now I'm free. So I hope that's the same prize for you.berkeman said:

Forgot to put Yukawa.

The question reflects the low state of UG education.
