He he he, I’m going to give a very girly answer and first say Jake Gyllenhaal….for obvious reasons 😀
I don’t know if you call this guy famous, but he is in the world of bovine TB: Lord John Krebs. He was like the first person to sit back and look at all of the evidence about badgers being involved in bovine TB. He wrote this great report back in 1995 all about it, and really it was so advanced for its time. He’s retired now but i’d love to meet him!
If we could meet any dead scientist I think it would be Edward Jenner. I first learned about him when I was 10 in school and I ran straight home after school and made my Dad look him up in his encyclopedia so I could learn more about his work on the first cowpox/smallpox vaccine!
What about you? Who would you like to meet?

I’m not really sure, Edward Jenner would be interesting to talk to, but maybe a really old scientist like Galileo Galilei so I could see what he thought of all the medical advancements since his time!
Cat commented on :
Oh great answer! But do you not think that you’d blow his mind? Especially if you wipped out an ipad and used and interactive presentation to show him all the medical advancements…..I’d maybe wait until we’ve got a full blown cure for heart attacks first 😀
