What is Linus Pauling Day?

Dr. Pauling was born February 28, 1901 in Portland, Oregon. After his death in 1994, the governor of the state of Oregon declared February 28th as "Linus Pauling Day" to honor this great man and his achievements. 

Each year on February 28, the Linus Pauling Institute holds an event in honor of Dr. Pauling's life and legacy. Our events showcasing the research from the Institute and demonstrating how Dr. Pauling changed the face of nutrition science.

 

A Linus Pauling Day Celebration
