  • He was the only person who won two "unshared" Nobel Prizes. I believe there were others who the Nobel Prize twice but they had to share it with other recipients?

  • Linus Pauling was one of the inspirational figure of all time. As many others I appreciate his effort and contribution of modern chemistry among other fields.

  • Linus Pauling Was not the only, Marie Curie had also won the Nobel Prize twice!!!! :))

  • Linus Pauling was not only a great man, but he was also my uncle!!!!!! :)

  • He is one of four double laureates, but remember with the other 3 they won prizes in the sciences, only one of Pauling's prizes was in chemistry, the other was the Peace Prize, which is not nearly as hard to win as the others. The other five prizes: Physics, Chemistry, Medicine, Literature, and Economics are chosen by an academic panel of experts in Sweden, whereas a committee of politicians in Norway choose the Peace Prize winner. This makes the Peace Prize much more political in nature.

  • Fred Sanger won 2 Nobel Prizes in Chemistry

  • Madame Curie(Maria Sklodowska) shared one Nobel prize with her husband and the other alone. John Bardeen shared one Prize with others and the other alone.
