I present here the story of my personal and scientific life. I provide information on my parents, my childhood, schooling, education at the Wageningen Agricultural University, and the work for my PhD degree on the action of some herbicides on photosynthesis under the guidance of Professor Evert Christiaan Wassink. After graduation, I obtained a position as a professor. In 1977, I spent a one-year sabbatical with Professor Govindjee at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, USA. This was the start of a long-time and successful cooperation on the effects of bicarbonate on Photosystem II. The research on the impact of herbicides on photosynthesis was extended in cooperation with Professor Ko Wakabayashi and his co-workers at the Tamagawa University at Machida-shi, Tokyo, Japan. Another topic of my research was the photoinhibition of PSII by too much light; for this, I worked with Professor Christa Critchley at the University of Queensland in Brisbane, Australia. At the end, I list my service in several professional committees.
我在此讲述我个人和科研生涯的故事。我提供了关于我父母、童年、学校教育、在瓦赫宁根农业大学的学习经历，以及在埃弗特·克里斯蒂安·瓦辛克教授指导下攻读博士学位期间研究某些除草剂对光合作用影响的相关信息。毕业后，我获得了教授职位。1977年，我在美国伊利诺伊大学厄巴纳 - 香槟分校与戈温吉教授度过了为期一年的学术休假。这开启了我们在碳酸氢盐对光系统II影响方面长期且成功的合作。我与日本东京町田市玉川大学的若林浩教授及其同事合作，扩展了关于除草剂对光合作用影响的研究。我的另一个研究课题是强光对光系统II的光抑制作用；为此，我与澳大利亚布里斯班昆士兰大学的克里斯塔·克里奇利教授合作。最后，我列出了我在几个专业委员会的任职情况。
