Linus Pauling Poster Prize
The Pauling Poster Prize Awardees listed below represent the next generation of excellence in the structural sciences. Established by the American Crystallographic Association and supported through the generosity of its members, the Pauling Poster Prizes honor the legacy of Linus Pauling—an influential pioneer of American structural research and a devoted member of the ACA. Awarded annually at the ACA Annual Meeting, these prizes recognize outstanding poster presentations by undergraduate and graduate students, highlighting creativity, rigor, and scientific impact. Each year, up to seven exceptional student posters are selected, and this list celebrates the achievements of those awardees and their contributions to the crystallographic community.
