I recently joined the Tiny Matters podcast talking about the resurrection of ancient antibiotics and how reviving ancient molecules could help us understand the diversity of bacterial chemistry 🧪💡

This interview with @nadineziemert.bsky.social was a fun surprise on my morning commute. Resurrected antibiotic paleomicin as an example of evolution moving from more to less complexity: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

Great episode, ostensibly about allergies, but also about the many reasons why penicillin is STILL a wonder drug! #secmet #naturalproducts podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/f...

J Nat Prod rocks!!! chemsky

Katherine Maloney @katherinem.bsky.social · Nov 17

Since June 2023 J Nat Prod requires them for all new molecules. Most authors I’ve seen have deposited at NP-MRD, the rest at Harvard Dataverse or upload as SI

Prior to acceptance. Most used to do at revision but more and more have been doing it at submission. And yes.

Since returning from sabbatical, I’ve gone ‘Full Frizzle’ with the chemistry-themed clothing and accessories. I may rethink this after seeing it on hubby during BIL’s “Dress Like Your Spouse” party last Saturday… 🧐
