== Pauling ==
Why is Linus Pauling on this list? He revolutionized the field of chemistry, and a lot of what he discovered is still taught in chemistry classes over a half century later. His position on vitamin C might have been misguided, but it shouldn't overshadow his previous work, and the fact that he was awarded two Nobel Prizes (I know that the Nobel Prize is ofter dismissed as a liberal pat on the back, but since it's mentioned as a reason Oppenheimer is included on this list, I figured that it's relevant).
