The American Crystallographic Association will confer its two awards for 2006 upon a researcher and a professor.
Charles F. Majkrzak, a physicist at NIST’s Center for Neutron Research, is receiving the 2006 Bertram E. Warren Diffraction Physics Award “for his seminal contributions to the development of neutron reflectivity and for his pioneering work in the exploration of many issues in interface science using this technique.”
Helen M. Berman, Board of Governors Professor of Chemistry and Chemical Biology at Rutgers University and director of the Research Col-laboratory for Structural Bioinformatics Protein Data Bank at Rutgers, has been named the winner of the 2006 Martin J. Buerger Award for “her lifetime work in the pioneering development of information services for the global community of researchers who both produce and use macromolecular structural data.”
Both awards include a $1500 cash prize. Majkrzak and Berman will receive their awards in July 2006...
