Lead needs trimming

The lead is excessively long. It does not need to summarize every single point in the article, such as his family background, education, and scientific experiments, but only summarize what makes him notable. Yoninah (talk) 18:55, 21 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Shortened lead. David notMD (talk) 10:28, 23 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
