What an honour to give the opening keynote at the SIMGBM meeting in Palermo, in this wonderful palazzo! simgbm.it/notizie-simgbm…

Bioactive Natural Products Prioritization Using Massive Multi-informational Molecular Networks pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

It’s out! A dream team of over 150 authors, 54 chapters, > 1000 pages and arguably the best general text available on the fungi. Very happy to have been part of it. ASM Press: THE FUNGAL KINGDOM.

Much of our network is attending the Natural Products & #synbio Keystone Symposia in Olympic Valley. Looking forward to a great meeting! #KSsynbio
