If by modern science you mean Gregor Johann Mendel and Isaac Newton then yea it's only a few hundred years old.

In the textbook, it seems like Mendel had a great idea one day after observation of pea traits.

I built a RepRap Prusa Mendel last year, and boy was I ever in over my head.

Would you object to, say, Gregor Mendel being on that list?

Darwin generated his theory of natural selection by observing living species throughout the world, and Mendel developed this theory of genetic inheritance by working with living plants.

I first built Mendel i2, and got upset with it rather quickly.

From Galileo to Servetus to Mendel to Einstein.

Even Gregor Mendel may have committed it.

How Mendel arrived at his results -- his "execution" -- was irrelevant to the ideas of genetics he discovered.

Gregor Mendel is called "father of modern genetics" for his work on plant hybridization and discoveries in the area of hereditary traits.

Indeed, the terms "genetics" and "gene" were coined over a decade before Crick was born, and the first research was by Mendel about 50 years before Crick's birth.

I remember reading Mendel's Demon on the subject of sex differentiation as a means to prevent competition between mitochondrial DNA, and I wonder if there might be some interesting extensions beyond this that could be investigated using such "mega-colonies".

Or buy a frame from tens of vendors who sell kits and parts for the Prusa Mendel.

Historical note: Mendel's rivals refused to see aA as distinct from Aa (HT as different from TH using coins).

Since the early days of genetics, methods used in statistics have been important to genetics basically going back as far as Mendel.
