Description
Formation of the American Society for Photobiology for meeting the needs of investigators studying the effects of light on man and other organisms is described. The scientific program of the first meeting of the society included discussions of the followiug topics: detrimental effects of excessive exposure to sunlight and artificial uv radiation; repair of uv-induced damage to cells; the roles of light in the human environnnent; photochemistry in photobiology; effects of near uv light; photosynthesis; bioluminescence; light perception without eyes; chronobiology; the ultraviolet world of insects; vision; and solar energy conversion.
