Kary Mullis, who invented PCR (used to amplify DNA samples), said he got the idea biking in the California wilderness while smoking crack cocaine. Fuckin' biologists, man.

"Mullis downplayed humans' role in climate change, expressed doubt that HIV is the cause of AIDS,[4][5][6] and professed a belief in astrology and the paranormal.[7][8] Mullis's unscientific statements about topics outside his area of expertise have been named by Skeptical Inquirer as an instance of "Nobel disease".[7]"

sounds like a fucking retard to me

Here's an entirely rational and level-headed guide to de-greasing a pizza. The whole process should take no more than an hour or two, as you can see in this 23 minute guide:

What a strange thing to say. Do you know Kary Mullis personally?

Perhaps I should mention that there is some drama with Calvin and his former co-researcher, Benson. Some texts will recognize Benson's work by calling the Calvin cycle by the name Calvin-Benson cycle.

way to defend yourself like a fucking child and acting like the nobel prize means anything just because you cant handle the cognitive dissonance itt because you're brain is filled with diarrhea and cognitive thought itself is simply too difficult
