Nobel Prize-winning chemist who grew up in SC capital dies at 74

“The procedure almost led to him to be called as an expert witness in O.J. Simpson’s murder trial in 1995. However, a 1998 Washington Post article explained, “Simpson’s lawyers decided against calling Mullis as a witness, afraid that prosecution lawyers would use his much-publicized acid adventures to portray him as a raving nut.”

After winning the Nobel Prize, Mullis founded and advised several biotech companies, the quirkiest being one that would sell bits of celebrity DNA in things like trading cards and jewelry. His various awards include an honorary Doctor of Science degree from the University of South Carolina in 1994. Mullis also wrote a humorous autobiography, “Dancing Naked in the Mind Field,” in 1998.”
