Antonie van Leeuwenhoek (October 24, 1632 - August 30, 1723), "was a Dutch tradesman and scientist from Delft, Netherlands. He is commonly known as 'the Father of Microbiology.'"Van Leeuwenhoek was the first person to ever observe microorganisms through a magnifying lens. He referred to them as "cavorting, wee beasties" and "animalcules." I find both terms to be utterly fantastic. The fact that van Leeuwenhoek came up with both of them instantly endears me to him and makes naming this blog in his honor completely worthwhile.
And then I came across this bit of his writing:
My work, which I've done for a long time, was not pursued in order to gain the praise I now enjoy, but chiefly from a craving after knowledge, which I notice resides in me more than in most other men. And therewithal, whenever I found out anything remarkable, I have thought it my duty to put down my discovery on paper, so that all ingenious people might be informed thereof. - Anton van Leeuwenhoek, from a letter dated June 12, 1716
In that spirit, I give you the Look at the wee beasties! blog. Thanks for visiting.
this is the art of a rebel with a cause of caring. Good work gentlemen!
