On this dayโ€ฆ

Francis Bacon, 1st Viscount St Alban, was born on this day in 1561. An English polymath, philosopher, and statesman of the Elizabethan court, Baconโ€™s works are credited with inventing the scientific method. Bacon argued for knowledge based only upon scientific reasoning and careful observation, and for scientists to approach hypotheses from a position of skepticism to avoid misleading themselves.
