Hudson Award in Carbohydrate Chemistry given by the American Chemical Society. == Life and work == Hudson was born in Atlanta, Georgia in 1881.

On returning to the United States, Hudson worked as a physics instructor for a year at Princeton University and later at the University of Illinois, earning a Ph.D. in 1907. He later held positions at the National Bureau of Standards and the NIH (1928 – 1951), both in Washington, DC. He was elected to the National Academy of Science in 1927.
