The recent death of Professor Yves Dusausoy, one of my first crystallography teachers, gave me the desire to write a article in tribute to the “Nancy school”, where I had the chance to do my scientific studies before embarking on my own career as assistant professor (1994–2000, Henri Poincaré University) and then full professor at Strasbourg University from 2000. They are specifically three “great” deceased teachers who marked my scientific formation and allowed me to be well prepared in the large field of X-ray crystallography.In this article, I want to pay tribute to the Professors Yves Dusausoy, Jean Protas and Niels Hansen and show, on a few easy examples, the relevance of their respective teachings.
