Preface: 50<sup>th</sup> American Society for Photobiology Anniversary Issue<sup>†</sup>
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This special issue celebrates the 50th Anniversary of the American Society for Photobiology (ASP). We are delighted to mark ASP's 50th year with 57 contributions (1 correspondence, 17 review articles, 32 research articles, and 7 highlight articles). This special issue consists of contributions by photo scientists located around the world, including Argentina, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Chile, China, France, Germany, India, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Panamá, Poland, Portugal, Singapore, Spain, Turkey, United Kingdom, and the United States. We happily reflect on our 50th anniversary with this special issue, as it is a remarkable milestone. ASP's beginnings in 1972 were due to the efforts of founding ASP President Kendric C. Smith. Dr. Smith has written on the origin of ASP and described the evolution of our Society, its journey toward becoming an international photobiology society, and especially its Journal. To spotlight our society's unique accomplishments, we strove to collect papers with broad and high-quality coverage to match ASP's areas of interest (Fig. 1). ASP provides support for many disciplines, covering a broad range of photobiology/photochemistry topics, including bioluminescence, clinical applications of photobiology, fluorescence, environmental photobiology, imaging, lasers, nonvisual photoreception, photochemistry, photoconversion, photodynamic therapy, photomedicine, photomorphogenesis, photomovement, photophysics, photosensitization, photosynthesis, phototechnology, photothermal therapy, spectroscopy, UV radiation photobiology, and vision. Our rich half-century of history gives us inspiration toward realizing an enlightening future. With 50 years in the books, it is tempting to think about how the ASP will evolve, as we progress to ASP's 100th year anniversary. We believe that ASP will play a key ongoing role in leading photobiology, while also contributing to all branches of photoscience. We are highly optimistic about the future of the American Society for Photobiology.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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 source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
