Kenneth N. Trueblood Award To recognize exceptional achievement in
computational or chemical crystallography. The award is established in memory
of Professor Kenneth N. Trueblood, UCLA 1949-1998, who was a major force in the
early use of computers and the development of crystallographic computer
programs. He applied these programs to the examination of chemical and
molecular details of many structures at the frontiers of research. His
contribution to the famous work on vitamin B12 is one example. Professor
Trueblood was a leader in the development of techniques for analysis of
anisotropic motion and was also a superb teacher and a lucid author.
Established in 2001, the award will be given every three years and consist of
an honorarium of $1,500 and up to $1,500 in travel expenses to accept the award.
