He won Nobel Prize in Chemistry ****, Nobel Peace Prize, Guggenheim Fellowship (Guggenheim Fellowsh ****ips awa ****r ****ds that have been awarded since 1925 by the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation “to those who have demonstrated exceptional capacity for productive scholarship or exceptional creative ability in thearts”), Lenin Peace Prize, NAS Award in Chemical Sciences, Lomonosov Gold Medal (a Russian award named after a Russian scientist named Mikhail Lomonosov. Two medals a **[[image:researchthetopic/SSB Linus Pauling teacher.jpg align="left"]]**re awarded annually, one to a Russian and one to a foreign scientist), Roebling Medal, National Medal of Science for Physical Science. **
