Did you know that an artwork of Beuys once got mopped up by accident? Indiscriminate cleaning up of biosynthetic intermediates can be a loss or a benefit for engineered #NRPS as shown by Farzaneh&Sayan in ACS Chem Bio. Leibniz-HKI KriesLab @Hertweck_Lab bit.ly/3B779qX

#VAAM_NaturalProducts did not only offer fantastic talks, posters and keynote talks by Emily Balskus, Challis Group and Eustaquio Lab, it was also great to meet old friends from Antibiotikaforschung (inaktiv)

Since the internet went down in #Iran, we have been receiving desperate calls for help from Iranians all over the world. “Be our voice!“, they ask in comments on our social media channels. We hear them. What is happening in Iran is deeply shocking.
