The Northwest China Council and Oswego Heritage Council are excited to be hosting a talk about Linus Pauling in honor of the 30th anniversary of his death. Chris Petersen, Editor of Visions of Linus Pauling (World Scientific Publishing 2022) will present about Dr. Pauling’s life and his career achievements, which included becoming one of the great scientists of the 20th century.
Linus Pauling won the Nobel Laureate in Chemistry in 1953 and traveled to China in the 1970s in order to promote friendship and scientific exchanges between Chinese and American scholars. His humanitarian efforts to seek peace in a world stunned by the atomic bombings of Japan in WWII were recognized by the Nobel Prize for Peace in 1962. He died in August 1994 and is buried at the Oswego Pioneer Cemetery.
