    FUN FACT The term SCIENTIST was first coined in 1834 by the English polymath William Whewell. He often corresponded with scientists and helped them come up with new terms for their discoveries. He also suggested the terms electrode, ion, dielectric, anode, and cathode to Faradaypic.twitter.com/BBhWmSp3jN

        Fun fact: he coined it as a term to refer to Mary Somerville, because the term for such a person up until that point was "man of science". He invented it when he reviewed her treatise On the Connexion of the Physical Sciences, in 1834.

        Less fun fact - that isn't actually true. It was first used in print in that review, but was not referring to her. Whewell coined the term a couple of years earlier. Here's the text:pic.twitter.com/qHPQL2C8oX

        I want to know which power mad botanical tyrant was the first one to decide that most of the commonly consumed nuts are not actually nuts.

        It makes no sense. These nutty things that we eat are the reason the word "nut" exists in the first place. Why are you now saying they are not nuts?
