Regarding Dr. Robert O. Becker's Nobel Prize Nominations

Regarding Dr. Robert O. Becker's Nobel Prize Nominations

Marino, Andrew wrote :

The report is true.

The first nomination was in January 1978. I saw the nomination form that had been sent to Dr Becker’s nominator by Dr Luft, the chairman of the 1978 Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine, and I have in my possession the letter that Dr Becker wrote to the nominator wherein  Dr Becker summarized his accomplishments, as requested by the nominator. I also have in my possession both the letter sent to Dr Becker by the 1978 Nobel Committee asking him to nominate one or more candidates for the Prize, and Dr Becker’s reply.

The second nomination occurred shortly after I left Dr Becker’s laboratory in 1980.  He told me who had nominated him, and we discussed the information that he would provide to the nominator.

The second nomination particularly pleased Dr Becker because it came years after he had been forced to retire, but indicated to him that his work had not been forgotten. He was the first and greatest EMF warrior. He sought neither power, money, nor fame.  What he did seek was to be recognized for what he accomplished. He always scrupulously  respected those investigators whose work paved the way for his work and, in turn, he wanted the same kind of respect.
