He donated his Nobel Prize and traveled by motorcycle Albert Szent-Györgyi

Szent-Györgyi Albert, the Nobel Prize-winning Hungarian physician and biochemist, passed away on October 22, 1986. He is renowned for discovering vitamin C and had a remarkable life marked by adventure and scientific achievement. Born in Budapest in 1893, he struggled academically in his youth but later excelled in medicine. His wartime experiences shaped his pacifist views, leading him to self-inflict an injury to escape combat. After significant research in Europe and the U.S., he isolated vitamin C and contributed to muscle biochemistry. His adventurous spirit extended beyond science, as he traveled extensively and engaged in anti-fascist activities during WWII. Emigrating to the U.S. in 1947, he continued his research until his death at 93.
