Throughout his career, Dr. J. Bruce Beckwith has set the standard as physician/pathologist. Beginning with formal clinical training in pediatrics, Dr. Beckwith honed his practice of pediatric pathology to meet the needs of patient, family, and practitioner, always using a careful and compassionate blend of diagnostic accuracy and clinical practicability. Dr. Beckwith's scientific contributions are legion and cover the diverse fields of congenital disease, forensic medicine, and neoplasia. Our fundamental understandings of in situ neuroblastoma, Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome, sudden infant death syndrome, and Wilms tumor are all based on Dr. Beckwith's original observations and interpretations. But equal to his research has been his extraordinary ability to communicate with, console, and inspire people of all walks of life and all disciplines, from patients and their families to students and colleagues. With this passion, Dr. Beckwith has reached far beyond the artificial confines of the laboratory and, in so doing, has earned a rightful place in the annals of pathology, pediatrics, and, indeed, humanity.
在其整个职业生涯中，J. 布鲁斯·贝克威思博士一直是医师/病理学家的典范。贝克威思博士从儿科学的正规临床培训起步，不断完善其儿科病理学实践，以满足患者、家庭和从业者的需求，始终将诊断准确性与临床实用性谨慎且充满同情心地结合起来。贝克威思博士的科学贡献数不胜数，涵盖先天性疾病、法医学和肿瘤形成等多个领域。我们对原位神经母细胞瘤、贝克威思-维德曼综合征、婴儿猝死综合征和肾母细胞瘤的基本认识均基于贝克威思博士的原始观察和解读。但与他的研究同样出色的是他与各行各业、各个学科的人交流、安慰和激励的非凡能力，从患者及其家人到学生和同事。怀着这份热忱，贝克威思博士远远超越了实验室的人为局限，因此在病理学、儿科学乃至人类历史上赢得了应有的地位。
