Robert Burns Woodward is a very intelligent chemist. He was born on April 10th, 1911 in England. He migrated here to the U.S. (Boston Massachusetts) for high school. From early on he knew he was a scientist. In high school, he already loved experimenting from his textbook. After, he attended Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He was expelled after one year, and readmitted the next. He received a Bachelor of Science, and he also received a Doctorate. Hewas married twice and produced two children with each of his wives.

                   Woodward specified in organic chemistry. He synthesized new structures and complex, natural compounds and products. Some of those compounds were, cholesterol, cortisone, lysergic acid, chlorophyll, reserpine, colchicine, and more. Woodward's synthesises was attention to stereo chemistry also. He reported synthesis of the alkaloid quinine used to treat malaria. He was the adviser in WW|| to the War Production Board on the penicillin project. He became the director of Woodward Research Institute in 1963. He authored and co-authored 200 publications. He wrote 85 papers, text, lectures and reviews.

                  Woodward received the National Medal of Science in 1964. He also received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1964. He was obviously a very determined man, he was also very smart and hard working. He has made a huge contribution to your world today. He has created a new sense of learning. And has taught people that if he can do the things he did, anyone can. Woodward was an inspiration to many. He has lead younger chemists/scientists to follow his dream and work as hard he did. He died in October, 1979 from a heart attack in his sleep.

                  During the preparation of this essay, I really didn't enjoy the fact of writing this. I later realized that i have learned many things. I learned that everything is literally science and we are just to sucked into society and distraction, that it really doesn't matter. Scientists have really taken the time to research and find the reality of mass and production. We really need to take the time to acknowledge them and give them credit for what they've done. I'm glad that Robert Burns Woodward was the chemist he was, if not, we wouldn't be where we are today.
