The 2000 National Medal of Science was awarded to Dr. Ralph F. Hirschmann "for his seminal contributions to organic and to medicinal chemistry."
The 1995 National Medal of Science was awarded to Dr. Isabella Karle in recognition of her contributions to the "development and application of a method [symbolic addition procedure] for determining essentially equal-atom crystal and molecular structures by X-ray analysis."
