New observations of quantum coherence in light harvesting complex II (LH2) and the reaction center of Rhodobacter sphaeroides will be presented.  We will attempt to map this data onto microscopic models consistent with our observations.  The goal of this talk will be to examine whether or not these coherent signals are relevant to biological function, and if so, what they mean.
