I went to high school in Columbia. I met my first wife, Richards, whom I married while I was working on a B.S. in chemistry at Georgia Tech. She bore Louise, and I studied. I learned most of the useful technical things - math, physics, chemistry - that I now use during those four years. Kary Mullis bearchemistrycolumbia share on social
My mother often mailed me articles from 'Reader's Digest' about advances in DNA chemistry.
