Editorial for the Special Issue Dedicated to Prof. A. Douglas Kinghorn

Dear Reader,

It is our great pleasure to present this special issue dedicated to Prof. A. Douglas Kinghorn on the occasion of his 75th birthday, in recognition of his renowned scientific contributions in pharmacognosy and dedicated service to academia and the global natural products and health communities. When we were first asked to write a brief history of his accomplishments, we had two thoughts. The first was: does anyone in this community not already know A. Douglas Kinghorn? It seems that everyone studying natural products has either met him in person, or heard him speak, or at the very least, read one of his over 400 manuscripts. The second thought was: how do we summarize his accomplishments concisely (even his CV is over 135 pages long!)?
