His grandfather was a German Jew and later emigrated to the United States. His father was a pharmacist and American Jewish. His mother was a Canadian immigrant. As a double winner of the Nobel Prize, Pauling is not only a talented scientist, but also a passionate advocate of the world peace movement. First, in 1954, he won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his work on chemical and physical solutions to a variety of chemical-related challenges and the development of a unique set of technologies for studying proteins, amino acids and DNA structures. At the same time, in scientific exploration, he noticed the potential impact of free radiation dust on genetic diseases. He strongly opposed the nuclear test and raised 11,000 scientists
