Great article by my colleague Nadja Cech et al in Royal Society of Chemistry Natural Product Reports about how #NaturalProducts researchers use big data to generate & test hypotheses. Nice point: it allows chemists to ask & answer new & different questions. doi.org/10.1039/D1NP00…

Enjoyed pondering the mysteries of fungal metabolites and connecting their structural diversity to their redox behavior with Hematian Lab and using ENaCt for X-ray structures with Newcastle Chemistry doi.org/10.1021/acs.jo…

This is one of the most unique natural product papers I have read lately. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Really enjoying this paper. Very interesting approach to looking at a common motif in natural products, and then coupling it's impact on drug discovery. doi.org/10.1021/acs.jm…

Friends who are members of the American Society of Pharmacognosy (x.com/pharmacognosy): Please fill out this survey regarding the ASP Newsletter. They want to make it more relevant to all interested parties. asph.memberclicks.net/newsletter-sur…

Very proud of this article. Congrats to my former student, Noemi Paguigan and the team. We're big fans of mass defect filtering. nature.com/articles/s4142…

The fungal nerd in me loved this paper. Key message: fungal spores over 200 years old can be revived from herbarium specimens (deposited by Linneaus!), yielding kool compounds. Lovely work by BeemelmannsLab and colleagues. ACS Publications doi.org/10.1021/acs.jn…

How technologic advances simplified the work desk

Excited about new collaboration w/Vincent Ricigliano Dept. of Agriculture et al. Honey bees need help w/nutrition. Turns out macroalgae or cyanobacteria may be a good substitute (better than sugar H20). Thanks to Project Apis m. for support. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac… ACS Publications #honeybee

For my Fungal Friends: This is a thorough review! Has loads of details on fungal products that have 'made it' in the real world. I'm only 1/2 way through it and have learned a great deal. Thank you Marc Stadler and colleagues link.springer.com/article/10.100…

Congrats to my colleague, Shabnam Hematian. We train undergrads well Chem + Biochem UNCG

Fungal friends: Found this inspiring and clever. Great for teaching purposes, and in 20 different languages (including Greek!). Thank you @jand_bio zenodo.org/record/7110713…

Congrats to Prof. Rachel Mata @UNAM for this award from L'Oreal! Love it when good science is recognized. pharmacognosy.us facebook.com/lorealmexico/v…

For all my friends who are from Greece or enjoyed at least those who have enjoyed its beverages (and beaches), it's nice to see cutting edge science applied to ouzo. doi.org/10.1021/acscen…

I chat with Oberlies Research Group & Huzefa Raja from Chem + Biochem UNCG @UNCGresearch about #TheLastofUs on the Foodie Pharmacology 🎧#podcast! ➡️Which #fungi can kill humans? ➡️Can fungi survive in the snow? ➡️Can fungi really turn creatures into #zombies? #HBO #PopCulture #NaturalProducts

Happy to work with @BalunasLab on investigating how ants 'weed out' troublesome fungi from their fungal gardens. Love the creative experimental designs. pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

Botanists, hard at work, saving rare herbarium specimens, in the middle of war torn Ukraine. I'm totally inspired by their resilience in the name of science. wired.com/story/ukraine-…

Happy to work with Nadja Cech to capture & share words/wisdom wrt drug discovery from Nature. The take home messages: don't give up; collaborate; people make discoveries; be passionate. pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

We are looking for a new Director of our MS facility at the highly collegial Chem + Biochem UNCG. Our focus is on #metabolomics, small molecule quantitation & #naturalproducts. please rt spartantalent.uncg.edu/postings/26849 #massspectacular
