Dear All, There was a query this morning on the "History of Chemistry" mailing list as to whether Arnold O Beckman is still alive, he would be 102 this month. I haven't seen an obituary published and neither can I find a reference to one on Google, Peter Morris from the Science Museum thinks he is still alive. While searching Google, I came accross this biography that colleagues might find interesting: http://www.chemheritage.org/HistoricalServices/eminentchemists/Beckman/beckm an.htm Best wishes, Gareth Gareth Davies Senior Clinical Biochemist Wrexham Maelor Hospital Wrexham LL13 7TD UK 01978 725345 ------ACB discussion List Information-------- This is an open discussion list for the academic and clinical community working in clinical biochemistry.
