Why do you see "Beckman" all over Irvine? It's the legacy of Dr. Arnold O. Beckman, a pioneering scientist and philanthropist. He revolutionized chemistry with the first electronic pH meter, founded Beckman Instruments (now Beckman Coulter Diagnostics), and shaped science, education, and tech. His impact continues through the Arnold and Mabel @Beckman Foundation, with contributions to Caltech, University of Illinois, and beyond. He worked alongside visionaries like Carl “Speed” Marvel, S?ren S?rensen, William Shockley, and Gordon E. Moore, and even played a role in the rise of Silicon Valley. https://lnkd.in/dHz9fcyz #Science #Innovation #Tech #STEM #Invention #TechInnovation # #Engineering #ScientificInventions #OCStartups #OCSC #GrowthOC #OrangeCounty #California Kaerie Ray, MBA, PMP Anne Hultgren Scott Fox ??
