Robert N. McClelland, a Research Council of Norway program that uses surface process modelling. Cowie has investigated the origins of earthquakes, and was the first to identify that fault zones deform the same way predicted by experiments in laboratories. The Geological Society of London recognised the contributions that Cowie has made to geology in 2016 and awarded her the Coke medal. The citation read, "Patience Cowie’s research career has been outstanding from its outset: her seminal PhD work, carried out with Chris Scholz at the Lamont–Doherty Earth Observatory, produced novel insights into the way faults grow and interact, and explained the 	Patience Cowie

Patience’s research is characterised by deep clarity of thought, and represents a judicious combination of numerical modelling, seismic analysis and field observation... Patience Cowie, you are an inspirational and far-sighted geoscientist, who has revolutionized our understanding of the growth and interaction of faults". Selected publications.

In 1963, he worked unsuccessfully to save the life of American President John F. Kennedy after he was fatally shot, and, two days later, the life of Kennedy's assassin, Lee Harvey Oswald. Early life and education. Robert Nelson McClelland was born on November 20, 1929, in Gilmer, Texas. His father, Robert, was a butcher, and his mother, Verna McClelland Nelson, worked for a federal relief agency. He graduated from University of Texas at Austin in 1950 and University of Texas Medical Branch in 	Robert N. McClelland

After completing a residency at Parkland Memorial Hospital, he was hired as a faculty member at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center. His specialism was in surgery related to the liver, pancreas and biliary tract. In 1974, McClelland created and was the first editor for the very successful Selected Readings in General Surgery", aiming to present to students and surgeons the most useful of medical journal articles (now published by the American College of  Surgeons). After forty-five years on the faculty at Southwestern Medical Center, McClelland retired in August 2007. In September 2007, he was appointed Professor Emeritus of Surgery at the UT Southwestern Medical Center, remaining involved in medical student education. Assassination of John F. Kennedy and aftermath. On November 22, 1963, McClelland was working at Parkland Memorial Hospital in Dallas, Texas, when President John F. Kennedy was brought in grievously injured. Despite the efforts of the three attending surgeons (McClelland, Malcolm Perry and Charles R. Baxter), he died shortly after arriving. McClelland was the only member of Kennedy's surgical team  who supported the idea that Kennedy had been shot from the front, thus the idea that there was a second gunman. Two days later, McClelland saw on the news that Kennedy's assassin Lee Harvey Oswald had been shot; McClelland immediately went back to the hospital. Along with George Shires, McClelland worked unsuccessfully to save Oswald's life, as he was pronounced dead two hours after being shot. McClelland preserved his blood-stained shirt from attempting to save President Kennedy for the rest of his life. Personal life and death. McClelland married Connie Logan in May 1958. She was the  head nurse at Parkland Memorial Hospital, and the two also attended the same church. They had two daughters and a son. McClelland enjoyed reading, and insisted on having a bookcase in every room of his house. McClelland died from kidney failure on September 10, 2019, at an assisted living facility in Dallas. He was 89. Honors. In 1990, McClelland became the namesake for the Parkland Surgical Society's Robert N. McClelland Lectureship. Robert N.
