Borlaug was awarded multiple honors for his work, including the Nobel Peace Prize, the Presidential Medal of Freedom and the Congressional Gold Medal, one of only seven people to have received all three awards. Borlaug received his B.S. in forestry in 1937 and PhD in plant pathology and genetics from the University of Minnesota in 1942. He was awarded the 1970 Nobel Peace Prize in recognition of his contributions to world peace through increasing food supply. He was also an accomplished wrestler in college and a pioneer of wrestling in the United States, being inducted into the National Wrestling Hall of Fame for his contributions. From 1942 to 1944, Borlaug was employed as a microbiologist at DuPont in Wilmington, Delaware. In July 1944, after rejecting DuPont's offer to double his salary, and temporarily leaving behind his pregnant wife and 14-month-old daughter, he flew to Mexico City to head the new program as a geneticist and plant pathologist. Borlaug retired officially from the position in 1979, but remained a CIMMYT senior consultant.) <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norman_Borlaug> Wikipedia, viewed Nov. 8, 2024: Norman Borlaug (In 1981, Borlaug became a founding member of the World Cultural Council.
