With an emphasis on his life and work, listeners will catch a glimpse as to what it takes to be a successful scientist as well as gain an understanding concerning one of the fundamental "big ideas" in chemistry -- chemical bonding. Spanning 7 decades, Pauling's prolific career had impacts both scientifically and socially. Learn why Linus Pauling has the historical distinction of being the only person to ever win two unshared Nobel Prizes: one for chemistry and one for peace.
