There are alot more Persian / Iranian notables that are not listed below but this will suffice as a start.
After a dormant period Iran’s scientific brain power has flourished and we will hear of these great young scientists in Iran in the years to come. Our young women and men are renowned for their mastery of various fields of science and their yearly medals in various Olympics is a testamant to what they can achieve. They are also the reason why Iran is able to achieve so much in various fields in the last 20 years.
Just remeber that all modern key sciences such as medicine, algebra, astronomy and chemistry go back to Iranian / Muslim scientists.
