Linus Pauling is in the exclusive club of being one of only two people to have earned the Nobel Prize in two different fields, the other being Marie Curie, and is the only person to have been awarded two unshared prizes. In 1954 he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his work, then was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for his peace activism in 1962. Dr. Pauling was one of the founders of quantum chemistry and molecular biology and published more than 1200 papers and books. It is understandable why he is considered one of the 20 greatest scientists of all time.
