Here, we honour Rajni Govindjee, a leading photobiologist of our time, as she turns 88 in 2022. This follows the tribute given earlier by Thomas Ebrey on the occasion of her 80th birthday. After a brief introduction, we summarise her research accomplishments—carried out in a highly cooperative spirit with a large number of scientists. We conclude with recent greetings from some of Rajni’s many collaborators. Since the previous tribute to Rajni was done so wonderfully well, we reproduce a good portion of it in Appendix 1 (also see Appendix 2).
