Feeling extremely honored to be recognized in this year’s AAAS Fellow list. But the honor and my gratitude really goes to all the amazing people I’ve had the privilege of leading and working with at the JGI and during my time in industry who’ve made my career so enjoyable. Thank you!

The JGI’s Secondary Metabolism Collaboratory is a public database with more than 13 million BGCs. As of publication in @narjournal.bsky.social earlier this year, it is the largest repository of BGC sequence data.  #secmet 🖥️🧬🧪 @danudwary.secondarymetabolism.com @nigelmouncey.bsky.social
