**About the Editor**

**Sylvia Urban** is an associate professor at the School of Science, RMIT University, and a fellow of the Royal Australian Chemical Society (FRACI). She completed her PhD at The University of Melbourne and has held research appointments in the field of natural product drug discovery (with AstraZeneca and PharmaMar SA) at Griffith University and at the University of Canterbury, Christchurch, New Zealand, respectively. She was awarded an ASP Research Starter grant from the American Society of Pharmacognosy and the Gerald Blunden Award for her activities in natural product chemistry research. Her research interests include marine and terrestrial natural products chemistry; isolation and structural characterisation; NMR spectroscopy and analytical separation and profiling methodologies for natural product discovery. Sylvia leads the Marine and Terrestrial Natural Product research group at RMIT University. Sylvia is also Program Manager of the Bachelor of Science degree at RMIT University, and is a passionate chemistry educator and a leader in transforming education in STEM. In 2019, she was awarded an Australian Award for University Teaching (AAUT) Citation for Outstanding Contribution to Student Learning, and was elected as a Senior Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (SFHEA) in 2018. Sylvia has served as Deputy Chair and a committee member of the Women Researchers Network (WRN) at RMIT University, and is a committee member of the Royal Australian Chemical Society (RACI) Women in Chemistry group (WinC). Her goal is to promote better opportunities for women in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM), and she has been selected for some key leadership programs that provide leadership training and support to women in the university sector. Finally, Sylvia is Reconcilation Facilitator and Ingidenous Coordinator for the School of Science at RMIT University, a role that she is passionate about, especially as it entails better understanding how we can embed indigenous knowledge into the STEM education sector.
