===Paul Bert===

[[Paul Bert]] (17 October 1833 – 11 November 1886) was a French physiologist who graduated at Paris as doctor of medicine in 1863, and doctor of science in 1866. He was appointed professor of physiology successively at Bordeaux (1866) and the Sorbonne (1869). Paul Bert was given the nickname of "Father of Aviation Medicine" after his work, ''La Pression barometrique'' (1878), a comprehensive investigation on the physiological effects of air-pressure, which pointed out that the symptoms of [[caisson disease]] could be avoided by means of very slow decompression. However, his work did not furnish data about safe decompression rates.<ref>[{{cite book |url=https://hagstromerlibrary.ki.se/books/1537 |title=La pression barométrique.
