Today's Google Doodle is a dedication to Hawaiian-American competition swimmer, Duke Kahanamoku. He was a five-time Olympic medalist in swimming.
He was also an actor, lawman, beach volleyball player, and businessman credited with spreading the sport of surfing.
Kahanamoku had qualified for the US Olympic swimming team in 1912. At the Summer Olympics in Stockholm that year, he won a gold medal in the 100-meter freestyle, and a silver medal in the men's 4x200-meter freestyle relay.
He finished the 100 meters with a silver medal during the 1924 Olympics in Paris. At age 34, this was Kahanamoku's last Olympic medal. He also was an alternate for the US water polo team at the 1932 Summer Olympics.
Between Olympic competitions, and after retiring from the Olympics, Kahanamoku traveled internationally to give swimming exhibitions. It was during this period that he popularized the sport of surfing, previously known only in Hawaii, by incorporating surfing exhibitions into these visits as well.
While living in Newport Beach, California on June 14, 1925, Kahanamoku had rescued eight men from a fishing vessel that had capsized in heavy surf while attempting to enter the city's harbor.
Kahanamoku's name is also used by Duke's Canoe Club & Barefoot Bar, a beachfront bar and restaurant in the Outrigger Waikiki On The Beach Hotel. There is a chain of restaurants named .

Google is celebrating the 161st birth anniversary of Julius Richard Petri, who invented petri dish, with a doodle on its home page. The doodle features six petri dishes which are swabbed by a hand showing images of bacteria grow and spread in the dishes.
The six petri dishes which when one clicks on the play button are swabbed by a hand. These bacteria go on to form the alphabeths that spell Google.
Born on May 31, 1852, Petri studied medicine at the Kaiser-Wilhelm-Academy for Military Physicians in Berlin. He later worked at the Imperial Health Office with Robert Koch who is considered the father of modern bacteriology.
Petri is known to have invented the petri dish in the year 1877 when he was working as an assistant to Robert. He was not the first to use agar to culture bacteria, but he is credited to have invented the standard dish in which it was done. The petri dish allowed for the better identification of bacteria and the diseases they caused.
Petri dishes later moved from the laboratory to classrooms where they are used by every student of biology for various experiments. They are used everywhere from school labs for conducting experiments by students to research facilities where they're used by bacteriologists and other scientists.
The invention paved the way for further research allowing scientists to identify microbes that cause diseases.
