In this article, I have provided a brief history of my life. After tracing my family background and my early interest in physical sciences, I discuss how I entered biology under the influence of Robert Emerson. I have always enjoyed doing experiments and this led to new measurements and analyses of 'chlorophyll unit', efficiency of photosynthesis, excitation energy transfer, delayed light emission, thermoluminescence and electroluminescence in photosynthetic organisms. It is my view that discoveries are made because we follow our scientific curiosities.
在这篇文章中,我简要地回顾了我的一生。在追溯我的家庭背景和我对自然科学的早期兴趣之后,我讨论了在罗伯特·爱默生(Robert Emerson)的影响下我如何进入生物学领域的。我一直喜欢做实验,这使我对“叶绿素单位”、光合作用效率、激发能传递、光合成生物体中的延迟发光、热释光和电致发光进行了新的测量和分析。我认为,我们之所以能够有所发现,是因为我们追随自己的科学好奇心。
