From August 4 to 8, 2025, Prof. Houhua Li flew to Brisbane, Australia, to attend the17th International TERPNET Meeting on the Biosynthesis, Function and Synthetic Biology of Isoprenoids (TERPNET 2025), organised by Prof. Claudia Vickers and the TERPNET 2025 organising committee. During the conference, Prof. Li delivered a 30-minute invited talk entitled "Total Synthesis and Chemical Biology of Complex Terpenoids" and had the pleasure of engaging with the TERPNET community. Thanks, Claudia and the organising committee for organising such a wonderful event!!!
