National Medal of Science for Physical Science

Daniel Kleppner

(For his pioneering scientific studies of the interaction of atoms and light including Rydberg atoms, cavity quantum electrodynamics, quantum chaos; for developing techniques that opened the way to Bose Einsein Condensation in a gas; and for lucid explanations of physics to nonspecialists and exemplary service to the scientific community.)
National Medal of Science for Mathematics and Computer Science

Hyman Bass

(For his fundamental contributions to pure mathematics, especially in the creation of algebraic K-theory, his profound influence on mathematics education, and his service to the mathematics research and education communities.)
National Medal of Science for Biological Sciences

Rita R. Colwell

(For her in-depth research that has contributed to a greater understanding of the ecology,physiology, and evolution of marine microbes, most notably Vibrio cholerae, the causative agent of pandemic cholera, and which has elucidated critical links between environmental and human health.)
National Medal of Science for Chemistry

Peter Dervan

(For his fundamental research contributions at the interface of organic chemistry and biology, and for his influence in education and industrial innovation.)
National Medal of Science for Engineering

Robert S. Langer

(For his revolutionary discoveries in the areas of polymeric controlled release systems and tissue engineering and synthesis of new materials that have led to new medical treatments that have profoundly affected the well being of mankind.)
National Medal of Science for Biological Sciences

Lubert Stryer

(For his pioneering application of fluorescence spectroscopy, and particularly fluorescence resonance energy transfer, to the analysis of biological macromolecules; he elucidated the biochemical basis of signal amplification in vision and pioneered the development of high density micro-arrays for genetic analysis (gene chips). His influential biochemistry textbook has influenced and inspired millions of students.)
