Honoring Bob Von Dreele on his 80th Birthday ¶

In cooperation with the IUCr, we will celebrate Bob Von Dreele’s 80th birthday with a set of talks and remembrances. This will be held at NIST in Gaithersburg, MD (USA) on Monday, December 4 in Lecture Room D in Building 101. Space for participants is limited.

We welcome talks on Bob’s contributions to science and data analysis, talks on work done cooperatively with Bob and talks where participants share how Bob’s work has impacted their own science or scientific careers. Personal memories or embarrassing stories are always great. We recognize that not everyone who wants to contribute will be able to get to the Washington DC area for this. Short (<5 min) recorded presentations to be shared are also welcomed.
