With this Tribute, we remember and honor Thomas John (Tom) Wydrzynski. Tom was a highly innovative, independent and committed researcher, who had, early in his career, defined his life-long research goal. He was committed to understand how Photosystem II produces molecular oxygen from water, using the energy of sunlight, and to apply this knowledge towards making artificial systems. In this tribute, we summarize his research journey, which involved working on 'soft money' in several laboratories around the world for many years, as well as his research achievements. We also reflect upon his approach to life, science and student supervision, as we perceive it. Tom was not only a thoughtful scientist that inspired many to enter this field of research, but also a wonderful supervisor and friend, who is deeply missed (see footnote*).
借此纪念文集，我们缅怀并致敬托马斯·约翰（汤姆）·威德津斯基（Thomas John (Tom) Wydrzynski）。汤姆是一位极具创新精神、独立自主且坚定执着的研究人员，他在职业生涯早期就确定了毕生的研究目标。他致力于研究光系统 II 如何利用阳光的能量将水分子分解为氧气，并将这一知识应用于人工系统的制造。在这篇纪念文章中，我们总结了他的研究历程，他曾在世界各地的多个实验室中从事“软资金”研究多年，也介绍了他的研究成果。我们还反思了我们所感知到的他对生活、科学和学生指导的态度。汤姆不仅是一位有思想的科学家，激励了许多人投身于这一研究领域，而且还是一位优秀的导师和朋友，他的离去令人深感痛惜（见脚注*）。
