The eccentric scientist behind the 'gold standard' COVID-19 test
Bombastic biochemist Kary Mullis invented PCR, a tool that redefined
genetic science, while driving in 1983. That was only the beginning.

In his lifetime, Mullis also denied that HIV causes AIDS, questioned
human influence on climate change, gave talks featuring images of nude
women, and made sexist remarks to journalists. White still reminisces
about his unquestionable creativity, sharp wit, and good humor--but
laments how the myth took over the man. "Mullis rejected all of his
former friends and colleagues and just disparaged us," he says. "The
Nobel Prize went to his head."

Interesting how some "educated" people have trouble with evaluating
reality.
