Hans Fischer: Breaking The Color Barrier
Hans Fischer is a well known chemist who was awarded the Nobel Prize for chemistry in 1930. The animal's’ natural coloring matter, tissue of plants, and red blood pigments is what Hans Fischer dedicated his scientific career to. Because Hans Fischer’s father was the director of the chemical dye, Hans was well acknowledged of the color of chemicals, which is known as the chemistry of color. Hans Fischer was one of the best chemist, because he was awarded the Nobel Prize, researched biological pigments, and chemistry of color. Hans Fischer was born in Germany on July, 27 1881 began his interest in chemistry and medicine as a child, since his father worked at a laboratory as a director of chemical dye.

“Over the years, Fischer’s laboratory had synthesised approximately 130 porphyrins. He also conducted in-depth studies of the specific structure of chlorophyll and published 129 papers on the topic.” (Gale, 5). This proves that his laboratory had impacted society by providing information and sharing that information to others. His statistics could be helpful to other scientists, and can lead up to discovering other useful things for the society especially for future references. One of the well known chemist would be Hans Fischer, since he synthesised chlorophyll and hemin. Fischer was well determined about his work, which colleagues have stated that he was obsessed, because he was not social outside of his work. His work was important, since it carried on after his death. Although he did not have much of a social life it gave him the opportunity to learn more about his work and make an impact on the
