Despite his ecclesiastical career, J. G. Mendel (1822--1884) was early attracted by science, namely mathematics and physics. This inclination fully developed after he appeared as a friar in the Augustinian monastery in Brno. His famous, statistically analyzed experiments on peas, though worldwide recognized only long after his death, became a milestone in modern biology foretelling the era of genetics.
