A collection of 19 scientists (2020-2022) who have had a major impact on the world of science

A collection of 19 scientists (2020-2022) who have had a major impact on the world of science. There are plenty more that have been important, but I had to make a selection. It is based on impact factor of research, breakthrough (which is inherent to IF), public speech and recommendation by major journals.

Why do I make such a collection? Because there are many professional researchers in the world working very hard to create better conditions for humans and nature. This affects our daily lives. Think about COVID-19, space exploration, technology and climate change. Nevertheless, we do not always hear from these persons in general media. Thus, hopefully, I make a micro contribution to some appreciation.
