The White House announced today that Richard Tapia, a Rice University mathematician and long-time champion of diversity in U.S. education, will receive the National Medal of Science from President Barack Obama.
The medal is the highest national honor for a U.S. scientist, but it won't be the first White House honor for Tapia. He received the inaugural Presidential Award for Excellence in Science, Mathematics and Engineering Mentoring in 1996, the same year he earned a presidential appointment to the National Science Board, the nation's highest scientific governing body.
