path. Great innovators such as Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak Steve, no less than in 1985 !, or Bill Gates in 1992, received the National Medal of Technology and Innovation, an award created in 1980 by the White House to recognize Researchers conducting disruptive changes in areas such as software architecture or data management. A few days ago made the expected announcement of the winners of the National Medal of Technology and Innovation and the National Medal of Science (with more experience since it was established as a prize in 1965) for 2014.
Science. The winners are: Bruce Alberts (University of California); Robert Axelrod (Michigan); May Berenbaum (Illinois at Urbana-Champaign); Alexandre J. Chorin (California); Thomas Kailath, (Stanford); Judith P. Klinman (California); Jerrold Meinwald (Cornell); Burton Richter (SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory and Stanford); Sean C. Solomon (Columbia); and David Blackwell (California, posthumous).
Technology and Innovation. Harvard points out that one of the winners is Cherry A. Murray, a long career at Bell Laboratories and known for his scientific accomplishments using light scattering, an experimental technique where photons are fired at a target of interest. Experts also point to Mary Shaw, a professor at Carnegie Mellon University, whose main merit was to help establish the software architecture as a discipline recognized by engineers from different materials, from e-commerce to antilock brakes. The other medals are to: Charles W. Bachman (MA); Edith M. Flanigen (Honeywell); Eli Harari (SanDisk); Thomas Fogarty (Fogarty Institute for Innovation); and Arthur D. Levinson (Calico).
