He was born in 1898 and became an agronomist in the Russian Empire. He would eventually become the director of the Soviet Academy of Sciences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lysenko is known for his criticism of science-based agriculture and advocacy of a Lamarckian inheritance, which favored behavior over genetics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>His work at the time focused on improving crop yields by changing plant genetics, but he believed it was impossible to change plant genetics through selective breeding. Lysenko argued that Mendelian genetics was irrelevant and that Lamarckian inheritance should take precedence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>[Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theatlantic.com\/science\/archive\/2017\/12\/trofim-lysenko-soviet-union-russia\/548786\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Atlantic <\/a>]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Trofim Lysenko; Stalin\u2019s mad geneticist and political puppet\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/HJ08zdwfBAY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"19_Vladimir_Demikhov_1916-1998_The_Father_of_Organ_Transplantation\"><\/span>#19.

He co-discovered the density matrix that is essential in quantum mechanics. He also developed the theory of diamagnetism.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But it was his concept of superfluidity that earned him global recognition. It helped scientists understand liquid helium II. Lev Landau received the 1962 Nobel Prize in Physics for his work on this theory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What is the best Lev Landau quote?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>&#8220;Everybody has a capacity for a happy life.
