We are hiring an NIH-funded postdoc! Looking for a highly motivated researcher with a strong background in natural product isolation and structural characterization for #terpene NP discovery, #biosynthesis, #enzymology. Please RT! @UFChemistry explore.jobs.ufl.edu/en-us/j…
Very grateful to be have been invited to write this review by @victoriajrich . Wouldn't have been possible to include so many examples without input from postdocs Lei Li @mengxiangbulao and Sanjeevan Rajendran (this is his first published literature review).

Thanks Amr! It was a fun project as there were so many interesting studies to include – at Providence Village, TX

Antibiotics help to prevent and treat infections.
We need a pipeline of new ones to fight infections because over time they become resistant to the drugs we use to treat them.
Yet, no new classes of antibiotics have been approved since the 20th century. [1/3]
ALT Bar chart titled: Why is it so hard to develop new antibiotics? The chart shows the number of antibiotics approved each decade starting from the 1990s to the 2020s. One antibiotic was discovered in the 1900s, zero in the 1910s, one in the 1920s, one in the 1930s, seven in the 1940s, nine in the 1950s, five in the 1960s, five in the 1970s, two in the 1980s, zero in the 1990s, 2000s and 2010s. There is a question mark on the 2020s. The source for the data is Pew Charitable Trusts, adapted from Silver LL. Challenges of Antibacterial Discovery, Clinical Microbiology Review 2011.
Looking forward to presenting our work at #SBNP24 in May. @fool_scientist will have a poster describing another new direction for us. Still time to register @Fusion_Conf

2024 O’Donnell Award in Physical Sciences Recipient @shengqianma, @UNTChemistry, presents his innovative work in the field of decontamination. #TAMEST2024
Squeezing in one more conference #EMC2024 before the semester begins. And if I have time at the gate will submit the group's second manuscript 🤞
Myself and a small group of colleagues get together at the end of each semester to read our evaluations out loud to each other. It really helps put some of the comments in context. And whoever gets the highest evaluation overall buys drinks for the rest of the group :)
Amazing last week of the semester... @jpsamjay successfully defended his research proposal and became a *PhD candidate* 🎊 AND @SharmilaNeupa14 & Marcelo Amorim submitted the group's first research manuscript 📃 AND Ian Sartor baked me some sourdough 🍞.. Next ✈️ to #WIPOS Hawaii
I'm officially a permanent resident of the US! Not only did the approval notice arrive today, but so did my greencard :)
