Today we remember Linus Pauling, the only person to have been awarded two undivided Nobel Prizes.
Did you know that Pauling discovered the structure of the alpha-helix molecule when he folded a piece of paper? What's more - Pauling was a champion of peace and took a stand against nuclear weapons.
In 1954 he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry. Eight years later he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize 1962 for his opposition to nuclear weapons.
