Margaret C. Etter Early Career Award

The Margaret C. Etter Early Career Award recognizes outstanding achievement and exceptional potential in crystallographic research by a scientist at the beginning of their independent career. Established in 2002 in memory of Professor Margaret C. Etter—an influential leader in organic solid-state chemistry whose pioneering work on hydrogen bonding, co-crystals, and graph-set analysis transformed the field—the award reflects her deep commitment to creativity, mentorship, and the joy of scientific discovery. Presented annually, it honors early-career researchers whose accomplishments and promise echo Etter’s remarkable legacy.
