Blog psot #4: Black history and science

1. I chose Biochemistry and my scientist is Dorothy McClendon. She is developing a fungicide, a chemical which will protect storage materials and not harm the people who use them.

2.  The Hydraulic Shock Absorber  invented by Ralph Sanderson, the Stairclimbing Wheelchair invented by Rufus J. Weaver, and the Helicopter invented by Paul E. Williams.

3. Otis Boykin (1920 -1982) invented the electronic control devices for guided missiles, IBM computers, and the control unit for a pacemaker. i believe this is important because this invention is used in peacemakers which helps peoples hearts and lungs.
