of_bright_lights gave a wonderful list.
You could also list/mention Rosalind Franklin, the first person to photograph the helical nature of DNA. Without her work, it would have been a while before the structure and nature of DNA would have been found--Lord knows the imbeciles Watson and Crick weren't going to do it without her "borrowed" photographs.
