The Journal of Materials Research booth in the Equipment Exhibit afforded scientists an opportunity to discuss upcoming issues of the Journal with Editor-in-Chief C.B. Duke. PAGE 12, MRS BULLETIN, JANUARY/FEBRUARY 1986
And at this meeting, the traditional Symposium X, which provides tutorial reviews for non-specialists, for the first time served as the stage for the debut of a revolutionary new development in ceramics technology. A special symposium in honor of David Turnbull provided a thorough state-of-the-art review of phase transitions in condensed systems. (See summaries of each symposium in this issue.) More than 2,300 scientists from around the world attended the meeting, which was conducted for the first time in two hotels. Technical sessions ran from 8:30a.m.-5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday, with special extensions of some symposia into the evenings. Other events included the Awards Ceremony on Monday evening, honoring John W. Cahn, National Bureau of Standards, as 1985 Von Hippel Award recipient. Dr. Cahn delivered an enthralling lecture telling the story behind the discovery of quasiperiodic crystals and their significance to current materials research. (See the text of his lecture in an upcoming issue of the BULLETIN.) Fourteen Graduate Student Award winners were also introduced at the ceremony to recognize their work which spanned many of the research areas of interest to the members of the Society. The winners were: John Charles Barbour, Dept. of Materials Science and Engineering, Cornell University (Symposia E and H); Peter H. Bischoff, Dept. of Civil Engineering, Imperial College of Science and Technology, UK (Symposium S); Suzanna Clement, Dept. of Physics, Universidad Complutense, Spain (Symposium L); Aliki Collins, Dept. of Materials Science, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (Symposium J); B.C. De Cooman, Dept. of Materials Science and Engineering, Cornell University (Symposium Q); Vladimir Dobrosavljevic, Dept. of Physics, Brown University (Symposium F); R.W. Fathauer, Electrical Engineering, Cornell University (Symposium E); John J. Joyce, Dept. of Chemical Engineering and Materials Science, University of Minnesota (Symposium E); Kenneth Y-Y. Kung, Dept. of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (Symposium C); John D. Lennhoff, Dept. of Chemical Engineering, Worchester Polytechnic Institute (Symposium M); Carolyn A. Mac Donald, Applied Physics, Harvard University (Symposium A); Karren L. More, Dept. of Materials Engineering, North
