In 1989 he was recognized for his service with a Presidential Citizens Medal from the Ronald Regan administration. President Bush awarded Dr. Beckman the National Medal of Science in 19892. These were all well-deserved for his progressive movement in helping the nation understand instrumentations utilized to help measure science, as well as implementing the scientific advancements throughout our
