He made dead frogs dance with sparks. The twitching legs weren't witchcraft — they were the first hard proof that bodies run on electricity.
About
Luigi Galvani was an Italian physician, physicist, biologist, and philosopher who spent his career chasing animal electricity. In 1780 he ran a voltage through a dead frog and watched its legs kick, a spasm that cracked open bioelectricity as a field. The work followed earlier experiments by John Walsh and Hugh Williamson, but Galvani's frog became the canonical image. He was born on 9 September 1737 and died on 4 December 1798, his name now worn by every galvanized surface and galvanometer that carries current.
