This week saw the publication of a multi-lab manuscript describing the development of the natural products magnetic resonance database (www.np-mrd.org) that has been a major effort for our team over the past 18 months. Congratulations to all the team members who participated in the study, particularly Andrew, Ella and Vera who were all Co-op students working on this new platform. For some it is their first academic publication. Welcome to the world of academic research!
