Known for their contributions to the arts?

Real!

I've been planning a special round myself, but I think I should keep some distance in between. Thanks to Spartaculous for an excitingly dramatic game!

Is any real being known for scientific achievements?

All entities: notably the namesake of something? I'm going to ask for clarification here: way back in round 157, I did John Paul Jones (the admiral) and John Paul Jones (the bassist).
