Very excited to be giving this month's Art Bio Matters seminar on lichen metabolites in a medieval tapestry! Join Art Bio Matters (artbiomatters.org/join-abm) to hear more about our findings and how it could change our understanding of the historic uses of lichen dyes.

🚨 New paper alert! 🚨 Analysis of a 15th c. tapestry revealed unusual chlorinated xanthones produced only by certain species of lichen. Is this the 1st evidence of a new lichen dye? To learn more, check out our open access article: mdpi.com/2571-9408/7/5/… via Heritage MDPI
