Wishing you a better life!

I would like to give a relevant example. Mendel, known as the father of heredity.

Some of us recognize Mendel. He has significantly contributed to heredity by pea experiments. So what was Mendel’s profession? Isn’t that one of the first questions that come to our minds? Not! Because most of us already think that he is a biologist if he interested in heredity. Some of us also know he’s a priest. But he was more than we know. He was gardening and beekeeping in the early period of his life. Then he was engaged in sports but had to leave because of his health situation. Then he studied philosophy and physics at Olomouc University, and then he entered the church. He was sent by the Church to Vienna for financial education and returned to the monastery as a teacher, but failed the interview. I want to point out a few important things that he made. His greatest work has been on heredity, which is why we call him “The Father of Heredity”. Other than that, for bees, he has designed hives. He was also interested in astronomy and meteorology, and founded the Austrian Meteorological Society. You can see how he was active in a variety of branches throughout his life.
