Linus Pauling

Notes on Conversation of Linus Pauling with Albert Einstein on 16 November 1954 (scarc.library.oregonstate.edu) On 16 November 1954 I talked with Albert Einstein at his home in Princeton, for a couple of hours, about various matters, scientific in part, but especially about the world as a whole.

Linus Pauling Day-by-Day (scarc.library.oregonstate.edu) In 1999, inspired by the remarkable success of the Human Genome Project, the OSU Libraries Special Collections launched an ambitious undertaking that seeks to closely document virtually every day of Linus and Ava Helen Pauling’s lives. The result is Linus Pauling Day-by-Day, a constantly expanding resource that provides in-depth description for a substantial portion of the half-million item Ava Helen and Linus Pauling Papers.

Linus Pauling (Wikipedia) Linus Carl Pauling FRS (/ˈpɔːlɪŋ/ PAW-ling; February 28, 1901 – August 19, 1994) was an American chemist, biochemist, chemical engineer, peace activist, author, and educator. He published more than 1,200 papers and books, of which about 850 dealt with scientific topics. New Scientist called him one of the 20 greatest scientists of all time. For his scientific work, Pauling was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1954. For his peace activism, he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1962. He is one of five people to have won more than one Nobel Prize (the others being Marie Curie, John Bardeen, Frederick Sanger, and Karl Barry Sharpless). Of these, he is the only person to have been awarded two unshared Nobel Prizes, and one of two people to be awarded Nobel Prizes in different fields, the other being Marie Curie.
