About this word search
Marie Curie won two Nobel Prizes, for physics in 1903 and for chemistry in 1911, and remains the only person honoured in two different sciences. Her name sits here with six other scientists, from Galileo and Newton to Darwin and Einstein.
Michael Faraday started the Christmas Lectures at the Royal Institution in London in the 1820s, and they still take place every winter. Pasteur, also on the list, gave his name to the heating of milk that keeps it safe to drink.
Words point in all eight directions in this grid. PHOTOSYNTHESIS has fourteen letters and is the easiest to spot. DNA, with only three, is the hardest, and Nobel Prize, Petri dish and Bunsen burner lose their spaces.
