Ah, the great Antoine Lavoisier, baron of base elements, scion of skepticism. Behold, his scientific vigor. This dude was an animal: discovered 33 elements, helped establish the metric system, revealed the chemical processes behind combustion, traveled 'round the globe in 80 days. If only he had had (had) an iron neck.
I think there's some fun to be had with Semmelweis as well.
