The Opening Ceremony of the European Crystallography Meeting (ECM29) and the 8th Max Perutz Award winner
We are happy to report that the IUCr YouTube channel now hosts the Opening Ceremony of the 29th European Crystallography Meeting which includes the presentation of the 8th Max Perutz Award to John R. Helliwell, and John's Award Lecture. The lecture compellingly captures what the Award citation called 'his long, generous and fruitful dedication to developing all aspects of the use of synchrotron radiation for crystallography'. John was visibly delighted to receive the highest honour of the European Crystallographic Association, of which he is a former President, and in his account of a long and distinguished scientific career, his respect and affection for a host of scientific colleagues shone through with synchrotron-like brightness. John's enthusiasm for his subject and his passion for education and outreach can also be read in a recent interview he gave to the IUCr to mark the presentation of the Max Perutz Award.
