J Nat Prod rocks!!! chemsky
Since June 2023 J Nat Prod requires them for all new molecules. Most authors I’ve seen have deposited at NP-MRD, the rest at Harvard Dataverse or upload as SI

Since returning from sabbatical, I’ve gone ‘Full Frizzle’ with the chemistry-themed clothing and accessories. I may rethink this after seeing it on hubby during BIL’s “Dress Like Your Spouse” party last Saturday… 🧐
