Kary Mullis

Kary Banks Mullis (born December 28, 1944) is a biochemist. In the 1980s, 
he invented the polymerase chain reaction, a central technique in molecular 
biology which allows the amplification of specified DNA sequences. He was 
awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for this work in 1993.

He has advocated that concentrations be measured in "number of things per
milliliter" instead of "moles per milliliter" because of the arbitrariness
of Avogadro's number.

Kary Mullis holds several highly idiosyncratic views. In his 1998 essay
collection Dancing Naked in the Mind Field he relates experiences that he
attributes to space alien visitors. He also claims that the evidence behind
astrology has not been adequately appreciated. Kary Mullis is among a
scientific minority that claims that there is not sufficient evidence for
stating that HIV causes AIDS.
