England's Leonardo

Amidst the plethora of "great" scientist of the last few centuries the work and legacy of Robert Hooke appears to have been lost along the way. For some reason I decided to find out a little bit more about England's Leonardo and found it interesting reading.
A few interesting things that I found out 1) he was the first person to coin the word cell to describe the unit of life 2) in many ways he embodied the Baconian method of doing science, now known as the scientific method 3) although he didn't progress as far as Newton in proposing the inverse square law of gravitation he was amongst the first to suggest a gravitational force between celestial bodies as opposed to the aether theory.
