Nominations are now open for the 2017 Natural Product Reports Emerging Investigator Lectureship.

The Lectureship recognises a researcher who has made a significant contribution to a natural products-related area of the chemical sciences in their early independent career. Nominations can be made by anyone, so why not nominate a colleague, collaborator, or someone whose work you admire today?
