On March 6, the post office issued its second
series of four American Scientists stamps. This set includes Caltech Nobelist
Linus Pauling (PhD ’25). The background art refers to his discovery
that sickle-cell anemia is a molecular disease—the first to be recognized
as such. Caltech is two-for-two in this series of stamps: the first set,
issued in 2004, included fellow laureate Richard Feynman.
