I love these sorts of of things. I was fortunate enough to have this fact mentioned in my stats book in undergrad, and later when I was in Dublin and touring the Guinness brewery, they had a small exhibit on Gosset (although Gossett was actually based out of their brewery in England). Another fun fact that I learned in organic chemistry was that Alexander Borodin (the Russian composer who composed "In the Steppes of Central Asia" and "Prince Igor") was only a composer in his spare time and was actually professionally an organic chemist who was the co-discoverer of the aldol reaction https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexander_Borodin https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexander_Borodin
