In Memoriam: Suzanne Merideth Joy 12 April 1961-7 December 2004
Bibliographic record
Abstract
spatial analyst, and always a mentor, passed away on 7 December 2004 in Teramo, Italy.She was in Italy developing spatial models of the habitat of biting midge (Ceratopogomidae) vectors of bluetongue disease (Reoviridae) in cattle and sheep on behalf of the Italian government and the U.S. Department of Agriculture Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS), her employer since 2003.Suzanne was born in Goose Bay, Labrador, but grew up in Virginia, Madrid (Spain), Minnesota, and Arizona.After graduating from Colorado State University with honors (Phi Beta Kappa, Phi Kappa Phi) and as the outstanding senior in Microbiology in 1983, she spent 2 yr with the Peace Corps in Kenya, East Africa.She was conversant in French, Swahili, and Kikuyu.Upon returning from Kenya, she worked as a radioimmunoassay technician for Hazleton Biotechnologies Company in Massachusetts and researched a pertussis vaccine for the Food and Drug Administration in Bethesda, Maryland.In 1987, wanting to move from the confines of research labs to the natural habitats of birds and mammals, Suzanne returned to Colorado State University for a Master of Science (1990) degree in Fishery and Wildlife Biology.Her thesis topic was the feeding ecology and nest habitat of the Sharp-shinned Hawk (Accipiter striatus) in Colorado's Rocky Mountain forests.The experience and knowledge she gained while sampling for nesting Accipiteg, collecting and identifying their food remains, and measuring the composition and structure of their forest nest sites was soon put to use in helping me establish in 1991 what would turn out to be an intensive and long-term study of the demography, genetics, and habitat of Northern Goshawks (A. gentilis) on the Kaibab Plateau, AZ.Before beginning a Ph.D. program at Colorado State University, Suzanne helped develop protocols for finding and trapping goshawks and managing budgets and large field crews through much of the Kaibab goshawk study.She loved being in the piney woods searching for and trapping goshawks, and making difficult tree climbs to goshawk nests to band their young.In 2002, Suzanne was awarded her Ph.D.

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.
