Well-known LDS scientists

Since this blog is titled "Physics and Faith" I decided I should get some science related content up. Here are a few well-known scientists who were/are members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

• Henry Eyring - recipient of the National Medal of Science for developing the Absolute Rate Theory of chemical reactions, served as president of the American Chemical Society and the Association for the Advancement of Science
  
• Harvey Fletcher - provided key assistance to Millikan in developing his famous oil-drop experiment, was the "father of stereophonic sound," and served as a president of the American Physical Society
  
• Philo T. Farnsworth - invented the television
