Presentation of the Mineralogical Society of America Award for 2001 to Peter Burns
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Mr. President, guests, and members of the Society: I am delighted to present my friend and colleague, Peter Burns, as this year’s recipient of the Mineralogical Society of America Award. Peter did his undergraduate work at the University of New Brunswick, with an undergraduate thesis on the borate minerals from Sussex County, New Brunswick. Stemming from this work, he found and described a new borate mineral, trembathite, which he named after Lowell Treembath, his professor in Mineralogy. He did his M.Sc. with Mike Fleet at the University of Western Ontario, working on the ordering of gallium in synthetic gallium albite, using crystal-structure refinement and MAS NMR spectroscopy. Peter started his Ph.D. at the University of Manitoba in 1990, nominally under my supervision, but actually he didn’t need any. His Ph.D. work involved ab initio Hartree-Fock calculations to quantitatively understand the stereochemical implications of the Jahn-Teller effect in copper minerals, together with extensive work on …

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
