Jonas Salk's 100th Birthday

Jonas Edward Salk ; October 28, 1914 – June 23, 1995) was an American medical researcher and virologist. He discovered and developed the first successful inactivated polio vaccine. He was born in New York City to Jewish parents. Although they had little formal education, his parents were determined to see their children succeed. While attending New York University School of Medicine, Salk stood out from his peers, not just because of his academic prowess, but because he went into medical research instead of becoming a practicing physician.

Hannah Arendt's 108th Birthday

Hannah Arendt (lahir di Linden, Hannover, 14 Oktober 1906 – meninggal di New York City, 14 Desember 1975 pada umur 69 tahun) adalah seorang teoretikus politik Jerman. Ia seringkali digambarkan seagai seorang filsuf, meskipun ia selalu menolak label itu dengan alasan bahwa filsafat berurusan dengan "manusia dalam pengertian singular." Ia menggambarkan dirinya sebagai seorang teoretikus politik karena karyanya berpusat pada kenyataan bahwa "manusia pada umumnya, bukan Manusia saja, hidup di muka bumi dan menghuni dunia ini."
