I would like to tell you about
Ernest Rutherford

3. He was born in August 30 1871, in Nelson, New Zealand.

4. His parents weren’t rich and did their best to give a good education to their child.

His most iconic and successful presentation of his work was his proposal of the nuclear model of the
atom in 1911.
The Classification of Radioactive Radiation and the Theory of Radioactive Transformation

Without his discoveries, the development of nuclear energy, medical diagnostics and treatments (like
radiation therapy and radioactive tracers), and particle physics would have been impossible.
