Pioneer and Clay Science Program

"Pioneer in Clay Science Lecturer"

Awardee: No Award in 2012

Description: Orginally proposed by Joe White, the Pioneer in Clay Science Program is intended to recognize and honor clay scientists who have made pioneering contributions to our understanding of clay structures and properties. The program also would provide younger scientists the opportunity to know these early workers on a personal basis and to learn some of the inside stories on some of the concepts and developments that we have taken for granted. The program is now a regular component of the annual meeting. The local organizing committee, together with the program committee selects the Early Pioneer designate and arranges to have the designate participate in the technical program with a lecture.
