Bio
Aaron Klug, President of The Royal Society from 1995 to 2000 and 1982 Nobel Laureate, died on Tuesday 20th November 2018. Aaron was instrumental in revealing the structures of complex biological molecules, from viruses to tRNA, to chromatin and zinc fingers. His most important contribution to scientific research was his painstaking development of crystallographic electron microscopy. This combines the techniques of electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction to recover three-dimensional structural information from two-dimensional electron micrographs. For this he was the sole recipient of the 1982 Nobel Prize in Chemistry.
Aaron was an accomplished theoretician with a wide knowledge of mathematical physics who had the rare ability to apply his theoretical knowledge to the solution of practical problems. He was actively involved in the teaching of undergraduates, as well as in supervising many research students. For many years, he was Director of Studies in Natural Sciences at his college, Peterhouse. He was also highly imaginative. He read widely and remembered all he had read, which made him an interesting companion to scientists and non-scientists alike: he never fell for any extreme political creed, but kept a wisely balanced outlook on general affairs.
He became a Fellow of The Royal Society in 1969 and was its President from 1995 until 2000. In 1988 he was knighted and was appointed a member of the Order of Merit in 1995. Aaron continued as an Emeritus Scientist until 2012, when he retired from the LMB.
