Abstract
The author summarizes the research contributions to photosynthesis mad e by him, his graduate and postdoctoral students, visiting scientists and by his collaboration with other photosynthesis workers during 1964 -1994. The development of isolation procedures and biochemical/biophys ical characterization of antenna pigment-proteins and photochemical re action centers are described together with the author's education and experiences as a scientific researcher. Some anecdotes hopefully add i nsight into what it was like to be in this area of science during the period.
