Jean-Paul Marat was a renowned doctor in London until he returned to France in 1777. He served as a physician to various aristocrats while performing scientific experiments in his spare time. Although his paper on electricity received accolades from the Royal Academy of Rouen in 1783, he was never elected to the Academy of Sciences.
