She received the NAS Award for Scientific Reviewing in 1986, "for informing and enlightening the astronomical community by her numerous, comprehensive, scholarly, and literate reviews, which have elucidated many complex astrophysical questions," the Klopsteg Memorial Award from the American Association of Physics Teachers in 2001, and the George Van Biesbroeck Prize in 2010, for "many years of dedicated service to the national and international communities of astronomers, including her expert assessments of progress in all fields of astrophysics and her significant roles in supporting organizations, boards, committees and foundations in the cause of astronomy."{{r|Biesbroeck}} She is famous for an annual review of astronomy and astrophysics research that was published in the Publications of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific, and often gives summary reviews at astrophysical conferences.{{r|UCI Observatory profile}} In 2018, she was elected a Patron of the American Astronomical Society, for her many years of intellectual, organizational, and financial contributions to the society.[1] LifeTrimble "grew up the only child of a chemist father and a mother with a flair for language, within easy driving distance of both UCLA and Caltech."{{r|SmallUniverse}} While attending UCLA in 1962, she was the subject of a Life article titled "Behind a Lovely Face, a 180 I.Q."{{r|life19621019}} The following year, she was selected to promote The Twilight Zone television show as "Miss Twilight Zone" in a national publicity tour. {{r|Twilight}} She received her B.A. from UCLA in 1964 and her Ph.D from the California Institute of Technology in 1968. At the time, the California Institute of Technology did not admit women students "except under exceptional circumstances,"{{r|Affirmative Action}} and she was only the second woman allowed access to the Palomar Observatory.{{r|Telescopes}} Following a year of teaching at Smith College and two years postdoctoral work at the Institute of Theoretical Astronomy in Cambridge, Trimble joined the faculty of the University of California, Irvine in 1971, where she is now Professor of astronomy. In 1972, she met and 11 days later married University of Maryland, College Park Professor Joseph Weber, a pioneer in gravitational wave physics. From then until his death in 2000, she spent half of each academic year as a visiting professor at the University of Maryland.{{r|Valencia Acceptance}} She was vice president of the International Astronomical Union's Executive Committee from 1994-2000,{{r|IAU}} and vice president of the American Astronomical Society from 1997-2000.{{r|AAS}} Honors
