Jess Weiss

Jess B. Weiss (Born 1917[1] Bronx, New York - died June 28, 2007 Fort Lauderdale, Florida) was an American anesthesiologist and doctor.

Weiss was best known for redesigning the shape of the epidural needle by adding a T-shaped set of wings. This allowed anesthesiologists and physicians to more easily guide the needle into the spine of the patient.

Nowadays, humans have somewhat easier access to chemical stuff and can probably get away with making bombs or whatever, while some control advanced weapons systems, and theoretically Trump and others have access to nukes.Also, I think on-demand commercial DNA printing is a thing now and with a few decades more development and some biology knowledge you could probably print smallpox or something?
gollark: You probably want to be able to improvise and stuff for emergencies, like in The Martian, and obviously need to be good at repair, but mostly those don't happen much.
