Thought for the Day. #LyonStrategic #LinusPauling

@lymphomation ⬆️

But in his defense, you could argue that he was forced to ‘step out of his field’ when the Pentagon had #LinusPauling , already a #NobelPrize -winner, FIRED from his *tenured* faculty position at #CalTech (forever staining that institution).

This is the birthday of #LinusPauling who we #quote and back with another #Fallbrook #sunset. If this #quotograph speaks to you please repost it.

@WhatisBiotechnology ⬆️

#LinusPauling also won a #NobelPrize for Peace ☮️ in 1962 for his campaign against testing of nuclear weapons leading to radioactive ☢️ fallout and its worldwide consequences.

He was equally reviled by the Pentagon and the Kremlin, and might’ve won a 3rd #NobelPrize for solving the structure of #DNA 🧬 before Watson & Crick (who used his method) if not for his passport being withdrawn by the U.S. #StateDepartment.😡 👉 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linus_Pauling
