I think that while Aristotle was a big part of bringing science to the place it is today, we shouldn't focus just on him. Yes he did big things and had big ideas about the world around him but so did many others. There might even be other people who had bigger theories about the world around them that were never brought to light. So far I have mostly only learned about scientists who were men, and i believe that even though the women weren't encouraged or acknowledged in this way they may have also had big ideas about the world.
So yes maybe Aristotle did big things, but so many others did as well and i think it'd be unfair to focus on just Aristotle as we may cloud ourselves from the bigger picture. (And isn't science about seeing the bigger picture?)

Yes! I agree! Women DO have big ideas. And there WERE a lot of scientists! Sometimes we do get one focus and it clouds the bigger picture. Good thoughts!

GASP! You're right, Jess! Science IS about seeing the picture. Why have I never been able to see that before?? That's legit thanks for helping me see that!
