Objective / I believe that I should get the top award because I proved wrong the ideas of the physician Galen, whose works were highly revered for all human anatomy before more accuracy was taken account of. Galen performed his experiments on animals, and therefore his work is inaccurate because he is trying to reveal human anatomy on animals, and I, more accurately used human cadavers for better correlation to HUMAN anatomy. Galen’s anatomy became old news and my anatomy paved way for the more accurate, more correct modern-day human anatomy. I also wrote a very extensive medical encyclopedia De Humani Corporis Fabrica. It is a vast eight-volume set of painstaking detail on the human body and my findings are based on my own dissections on human cadavers.
Education /
University of Leuven and the University of Paris.
Paris, France
Medical Degree
§  I attended the University of Leuven and then the University of Paris. At Paris, I studied medicine and showed a special interest in surgery. Then in 1537, I received my medical degree from the University of Padua and I became a lecturer on surgery.
Work experience / Paris/Leuven/Padua
§  I served as apothecary to Maximilian.
§  Writer/Critic/Lecturer/Artist (anatomy pictures)
§  I was immediately offered the chair of Surgery and Anatomy (explicator chirurgiae) at Padua.
References / §  Galileo once remarked on Vesalius, “Vesalius, known for his remarkable studies of the human anatomy, is a marvelous scientist, both intelligent and successful. We even share the quality of proving other fellow scientists discoveries false due to our extensive experiments.”
§  Harvey, the new and upcoming scientist, studying mainly on the workings of the heart, once remarked that, “My colleague is marking a new age of discoveries, observing and dissecting the human body, rather than the bodies of animals, such as the scientist Galen already has.”
§  One may say that Newton, the professor known for the gravitational laws, is the greatest and most popular scientist. Even he recognized that Vesalius was opening a new “body” of knowledge. He remarked, “Although we may be professors of more vastly different studies, I support Andreas Vesalius in his studies completely. He has started to slowly pave the way for knowledge, and although we are very different in our studies, I will support any scientist who will make new and innovative studies.”
