Louis T. J. Delbaere, professor of biochemistry at the University of Saskatchewan, Canada, took office on 1 January as vice president of the American Crystallographic Association for 2004. He will become president in 2005, succeeding Frances Jurnak, who became president on 1 January (see Physics Today, Physics Today 0031-9228 564200379 https://doi.org/10.1063/1.1580062 April 2003, page 79 ).

“All researchers who use crystallographic techniques should find themselves at home in the ACA,” says Delbaere. “We must continually strive to have joint conference sessions with other societies to show the multidisciplinary nature of our work.” Delbaere adds that it is important “to continue to reach out to our Latin American colleagues to have them attend and participate in ACA annual meetings because the ACA represents the Americas as a regional affiliate of the International Union of Crystallography.”

Delbaere received his BSc in chemistry (1965) and his PhD...
