Johanne Baptista
Johanne Baptista (Baptiste van Helmont) (1580–1644) was a pioneering Belgian chemist, physiologist, and physician, often regarded as one of the founders of modern chemistry. Known for his groundbreaking work on gases, van Helmont was the first to recognise and describe a gas distinct from air, which he called "gas sylvestre" (now known as carbon dioxide). He also conducted a famous experiment on plant growth, concluding that plants derive their substance from water, not soil, which marked an early step in plant physiology. Baptista’s work bridged medieval alchemical ideas and emerging scientific methods, influencing future generations of scientists.
