Why Is Ransom A. Myers Influential?
(Suggest an Edit or Addition)According to Wikipedia, Ransom Aldrich "Ram" Myers, Jr. was a world-renowned American-Canadian marine biologist and conservationist. Born in Lula, Mississippi, he was the son of cotton planter, Ransom Aldrich Myers, Sr. and Fay A. Mitchell Myers. At age 16, in 1968, Myers won an international science fair for building an "X-ray crystallograph," which measured the symmetry of atoms.
