In 1938, a meteorite (41,000 kg) exploded 20 km above the surface of the Earth near the town of Chicora, Pennsylvania: fragments of the olivine-hypersthene chondrite meteor were spread over a wide area. Had it exploded above Pittsburgh, it would have caused extensive damage.
@n0neofyerbuz Possibly, you could incorporate artistry into your possible work as a marine biologist: you can photograph specimens, and then draw or paint them, which could provide further insight into dynamics and physics of the organisms. I appreciate such artistry.
In 1936, Soviet novelist Mikheil Javakhishvili published 'A Woman's Burden': it reveals the raw psyche of Bolsheviks and Tsarists (i.e. parallels). For this, Joseph Stalin had him arrested, tortured and executed. The book would remain banned until after Stalin's death.

In 1934, Irish scientist Dr J. D. Bernal and British chemist Dr Dorothy Crowfoot successfully-applied the technique of X-ray crystallography to analysis of a biological substance, pepsin: to determine the structure of molecules, which became essential for structural biology.
In 1927, German physicists Dr Fritz London & Dr Walter Heitler applied quantum mechanics (Schrödinger equation of 1925) to explain covalent bonding in the hydrogen molecule: this significantly-enhances astrophysics research of hydrogen (e.g. molecular clouds)...
In 1924, English scientist Dr J. B. S. Haldane coined the term 'ectogenesis', to describe the growth of mammalian embryos in artificial environments. Later, applied to debate on differences in reproductive roles: the argument that an artificial womb would be safer for women.
In 1924, US-astrophysicist Dr Edwin Hubble announced his finding that Andromeda (previously, believed to be a nebula) is another galaxy and that The Milky Way is only one of many such galaxies in the known-Universe. This altered scientific research of space, significantly.
In 1923, Austrian novelist Felix Salten published 'Bambi, A Life in the Woods', one of the first post-war environmental protection novels: adapted into an animated film, Bambi, by Walt Disney Productions in 1942, while the human world was busy destroying itself and Nature...
