This article is a tribute to Carl R. Woese, a biophysicist turned evolutionary microbiologist who passed away on December 30, 2012. We focus on his life, achievements, the discovery of Archaea and contributions to the development of molecular phylogeny. Further, the authors share their views and the lessons learnt from Woese's life with the microbiologists in India. We also emphasize the need for interdisciplinary collaboration and interaction for the progress and betterment of science.
本文是对生物物理学家转行成为进化微生物学家卡尔·R·沃斯(Carl R. Woese)的致敬。他于 2012 年 12 月 30 日去世。我们重点介绍他的生平和成就、古菌的发现以及对分子系统发育发展的贡献。此外,作者还与印度的微生物学家分享了他们从沃斯的生活中学到的观点和经验教训。我们还强调了为促进科学进步和发展需要进行跨学科合作和交流。
