The second annual meeting of the American Society for Photobiology was held at the University of British Columbia, Vancouver, July 22 to 26, 1974.

Dermatologists like to claim the Nobel Prize winner, Neils Finsen as a representative of dermatology. He received a Nobel Prize in 1903 for his useof ultraviolet radiation in the cure of lupus vulgaris.
