Very stoked to see my 1st first-author paper out in world! For a long time it's been assumed that all sponge-derived natural products are made by microbes, but we found that the sponge animal actually makes terpenes. pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

i would’ve paid attention in chemistry if they talked about niacinamide

Several years ago, I wrote a 2-page guide on how to give a killer narratively-driven scientific talk. I called it "The David Attenborough Method", in homage to the master storyteller. twitter.com/wc_ratcliff/st… I recently expanded upon it in a short essay: authors.elsevier.com/a/1hRhv5Eb1BZj…

Excellent paper describing a bunch of new California sponges, including the one I studied during my PhD. @tomleeturner is a great resource for sponge taxonomy and I would highly recommend his expertice to any marine natural product scientists who need help with sponge IDs.

@taysteele_ @CBBaileyLab A slippery slope to a great destination! #teamterpene

@CBBaileyLab @ScienceSiren_ knows, this is a slippery slope! 😁

I'm turning into a RiPPs girl. I thought I was a PKS purist, but then I started dabbling with NRPSs and now I'm dabbling with RiPPs. What's next, will I start working on terpenes?

@brittybirdie @BradMoore_SIO @Scripps_Ocean Thank you Brittany!!

@BradMoore_SIO @ScienceSiren_ @Scripps_Ocean Go Kayla! 🎉 Congrats on this amazing accomplishment!

Congrats Dr Kayla Wilson @ScienceSiren_ on your stellar PhD defense today at @Scripps_Ocean. You are a gifted story teller. I’m proud of all you accomplished these past 6 years. Keep inspiring and connecting your science to all

@KatieHatstat @BradMoore_SIO @Scripps_Ocean Thanks Katie!!

@BradMoore_SIO @ScienceSiren_ @Scripps_Ocean Yayay! Congrats, @ScienceSiren_!!

@VikShende Thank you Vik!

Huge congratulations to Kayla Wilson (@ScienceSiren_ ) on an incredible dissertation defense. For anyone in the San Diego area looking for an outstanding biochemist and wonderful person, I can’t recommend Kayla more strongly.

@BeniddirM @Pdorrestein1 @BradMoore_SIO Thank you!

@ScienceSiren_ @Pdorrestein1 @BradMoore_SIO Congrats Kayla.

So fun to be part of Kyla Wilson’s thesis committee where she highlights her discovery of nitrogenous terpene production by sponges right of the scripps pier. Absolute wonderful journey to discovery. pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…. @BradMoore_SIO

@laurenfimbres @BradMoore_SIO @Scripps_Ocean Thank you Lauren! I’ve loved working with you and the rest of the comms office all these years!

@BradMoore_SIO @ScienceSiren_ @Scripps_Ocean Congratulations, Kayla! It’s been such a joy watching your journey!

@BradMoore_SIO @Scripps_Ocean Thank you Brad!! It’s been the best 6 years and I can’t thank you enough for all you’ve done!

@KatieHatstat @LeadingEdgeSymp Congrats Katie!

I'm excited to have the opportunity to be part of the @LeadingEdgeSymp community. Can't wait to learn from these scientists!

@allliho @AMSJPO Congrats Alli!!

Thrilled to announce that my first first author paper on surface wave - tide interaction has been published in @AMSJPO! Check out our paper or read on for a brief summary! 🌊🌘 doi.org/10.1175/JPO-D-…

@termofilos Congrats Ivan!!

@AnelaAkiona Thanks Anela!!

@ScienceSiren_ So proud of you! Congrats on this amazing work!!

@_the_rascal Thanks so much!

@ScienceSiren_ That’s so cool! Congratulations Kayla!

@malonekn @taysteele_ @Tristan_enzymes @BurkhardtImmo @BradMoore_SIO Thank you!! I have a feeling we’re gonna see a lot more animal biosynthesis work coming out in the next few years

Move over microbes! Sponges join the growing list of animals that make their own terpenes… Great work by @ScienceSiren_ @taysteele_ @Tristan_enzymes @BurkhardtImmo @BradMoore_SIO et al.

@kate_duncan Thank you, Kate!

@termofilos Thanks Ivan!!
