Inspirations and Image Credits

The People Who Inspire Us

The portraits behind our footer are 92 people whose work inspires ours: physicists, chemists, biologists, economists and mathematicians, with a philosopher and an entrepreneur among them. Their work is the standard we hold our own against. The wall takes its cue from the photograph of the 1927 Solvay Conference, where much of modern physics sat in a single room.

Inspiration, not endorsement

None of the people on this page is or was affiliated with Iteranium. They have not endorsed Iteranium, its services or its products, and showing their portraits claims no such connection. Company names appear only to say who these people were. Those companies have no connection with Iteranium either, and their names belong to their owners.
