Abstract
One of the most important means by which we can share our enthusiasm for structural science is through our trainees. Our students, both undergraduate and graduate, and postdoctoral researchers in our groups gain more than just technical skills through our interactions, they gain their own appreciation and excitement for science that they then can spread through their connections and contacts. We play an important role in garnering that excitement, fostering inquiry, and passing on that excitement to others. We often recount where our enthusiasm began, that one Professor or colleague whose excitement was infectious. In the Canadian context, Professor Michael James (1940-2023) was such a figure. Throughout his career, Michael’s excitement, and passion for the structural study of proteins, particularly proteolytic enzymes, fostered many who now continue that legacy and look to pass-on that excitement through their own interactions with trainees. This talk is a short remembrance of Michael, and others, who fostered that excitement in myself and others.

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.
