16th International Symposium on Phototrophic Prokaryotes
University of British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada, 5 – 9 August 2018
This was a fine meeting with many reports of first-rate new research. My own contribution was entitled Two-component redox regulatory control in the origins of oxygen evolution, cyanobacteria, and chloroplasts. Some photos… The first is a remarkable UBC memorial. The last is the location of the banquet, in the Museum of Anthropology.
I was surprised and pleased to find my simple graphic on the cover of the journal Physiologia Plantarum.
Why we need to know the structure of phosphorylated chloroplast light‐harvesting complex II

There was so much to cherish, and to maintain. Let us hope for future reconception.

New trains now run occasionally on the Transport for London Elizabeth Line, the first part of Crossrail.

The Z-Scheme etched in stone. Iconic. Cool.
The reflected image of the photographer was accidental.
