Amazing scientist and former labmate @rachlack does fascinating work at the intersection of chemistry and art. Check out her new paper on lichen dyes in a medieval tapestry!

🚨 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

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.

If you’re searching for your iced coffee near Charles MGH, this could be a good Dunkin’ for you. Modern, sleek, but sadly bathroomless, this Dunkin’ gets the job done and has a nice seating area with full length windows.
Vibes: 7.5/10

Starting my week by preparing some 15th century wool fibers for LCMS!
(These are HUGE samples from a conservation perspective, so I’m cutting them down to size before extraction)
