"He graduated from George Washington University as a mechanical
engineer, served a full-time mission to Uruguay, and completed post
graduate work in nuclear engineering at Oak Ridge, Tennessee. From
1953 to 1965 Elder Scott served on the immediate staff of Admiral
Hyman Rickover, directing the development of nuclear fuel for a wide
variety of naval and land based power plants. "

Ronald Fisher:

"Although he studied mathematics and astronomy at Cambridge, he was
also interested in biology. In his second year as an undergraduate he
began consulting senior members of the university about the
possibility of forming a Cambridge University Eugenics Society. He
graduated with distinction in the mathematical tripos of 1912. His
tutor, however, believed he could have done better, writing [3]:-

... if he had stuck to the ropes he would have made a first class
mathematician, but he would not.


In 1933 Karl Pearson retired as Galton Professor of eugenics at
University College and Fisher was appointed to the chair as his
successor."

And Richard Dawkins has this guy the greatest since Darwin. At least
Fisher and Darwin shared the same racist ideals.

Alexander Graham Bell was also a eugenicist. Perhaps we should get rid
of all phones?

Maybe what we should do is dump all the scientific advancements
developed by people of questionable ethics?
