Obituary for Kendric C. Smith
Obituary for Kendric C. Smith
We are heartbroken to hear of the passing of ASP's founder, Kendric Smith. Kendric founded the ASP in 1972 and has been the backbone of our society ever since. Our hearts go out to his loved ones at this time.
Kendric C. Smith played a pivotal role in the establishment and development of the American Society for Photobiology (ASP).
In 1970, he organized the Photochemistry Photobiology Group (PPG) and served as its first chairman, which laid the groundwork for a more formal organization.

Obituary for Herbert Hoenigsmann
The International Union of Photobiology mourns the death of Herbert Hoenigsmann, its long term executive board member (Treasurer 1996-2000, President 2000-2004, Secretary 2008, and Secretary-Treasurer 2009-2014), who passed away unexpectedly on the morning of August 21, 2023, at the age of 80.
In 1996, he organised and hosted the memorable 12th International Congress on Photobiology in Vienna and in 2014 he received the Finsen Medal for Fundamental Contributions to Photomedicine. He had a decisive influence on the field and shaped our Society.
We will miss him and share the sorrow with his family, friends and colleagues.
