Didn't Pauling fall prey to pseudoscience regarding Vitamin C? It's embarrassing to name an institute after him.
- ck2 11mo agoyes he basically created the "vitamin C cult" of the time which is like the "vitamin D cult" of today HOWEVER Linus Pauling was also a legit brilliant chemist that won two nobel prizes and authored over 1000 papers He created "quantum chemistry" and "molecular biology" And was also a big peace activist So he is forgiven for the Vitamin C stuff https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linus_Pauling https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linus_Pauling
