Paul Ehrlich
Paul Ehrlich names two significant figures in science.
The German physician (1854–1915) pioneered immunology and chemotherapy, coining "magic bullet" for drugs that target specific pathogens; he won the Nobel Prize in 1908.
The American biologist (born 1932) is known for *The Population Bomb* and controversial predictions about overpopulation and environmental collapse.
