Question

Your STEM class has been assigned a research project. You will each give a presentation on a person who has made a significant contribution to science or math and who was deaf or hard of hearing. Your classmate Jerome needs help selecting a person to research, and he asks you for your advice. He's looking for someone who worked in medicine because he wants to work at a hospital someday. Who do you feel would be the best fit for Jerome?

(1 point)

Charles Henri Nicolle

Vinton Cerf

Thomas Edison

Olaf Hassal

Answer 1

For Jerome's research project, I recommend Charles Henri Nicolle. He was a renowned physician and microbiologist who made significant contributions to medicine, particularly in understanding diseases such as typhus. Nicolle was deaf due to a childhood illness, and his work in medicine could inspire Jerome, who is interested in pursuing a career in a hospital setting. The other individuals listed, while notable, did not primarily focus on medicine.
