More Than Human won the 1954 International Fantasy Award (for SF and fantasy) as the year's best novel and the Science Fiction Writers of America ranked "Baby is Three" number five among the "Greatest Science Fiction Novellas of All Time" to 1964. (Ranked by votes for all of their pre-1965 novellas, Sturgeon was second among authors behind Robert Heinlein.)The Science Fiction and Fantasy Hall of Fame inducted Sturgeon in 2000, its fifth class of two deceased and two living writers. | Date Of Birth | February 26, 1918 |

| 1 | Coined the famed phrase "Live long and prosper" in the premiere episode of the second season of Star Trek (1966), "Amok Time" (according to an interview with Leonard Nimoy). |
| 2 | Is attributed with having formulated both "Sturgeon's Law" ("Nothing is always absolutely so") and "Sturgeon's Revelation" ("Ninety percent of everything is crud."). The first is a line from the story "The Claustrophile" in a 1956 issue of "Galaxy" magazine and the second was a response to a criticism of science fiction as a low-quality genre in his book review column for the March 1958 "Venture". |

| 4 | In 1968 he wrote "The Joy Machine," a third script for the Star Trek (1966) TV series, that was never shot. The main reason that it wasn't used in the series is that it contained expensive special effects sequences that would be too much for their budget. However, the script was adapted into a book by James Gunn (Star Trek #80, The Original Series) and published by Pocket Books in 1996. |
| 5 | The Theodore Sturgeon Award for the best short science fiction of the year was established in 1987 by James Gunn, director of the Center for the Study of Science Fiction at KU, and the heirs of Theodore Sturgeon, including his widow Jayne Sturgeon and Sturgeon's children, as an appropriate memorial to one of the great short-story writers in a field distinguished by its short fiction. |
| 6 | His short story, "Occam's Scalpel", appears in The 1972 Annual World's Best SF, a compilation of that year's best science fiction writers. |
