My @TEDx talk “Deadly cures: how venomous animals could save your life” is now online. My attempt to explain why #venomous animals should be admired and respected rather than vilified. youtube.com/watch?v=DybEzz6A…

That is what being on the wrong side of history looks like. The world stands with #Ukraine at #UNGA.

Hey @LewisArchibald_ , it was great pleasure to meet you at the 36th European Peptide Symposium in Sitges and discuss #Peptide4crops with you and @FabienPlisson. Looking forward to hearing more about your bioinsecticide work at Solasta Bio.

Absolute pleasure to meet @FabienPlisson and long-time peptide hero of mine @VenomsLab at the wonderful #EPS2022 in Sitges. Great to discuss the amazing potential of animal-derived peptides in therapeutics and agriculture. Some incredible work shown over the week!

Ondřej Michálek, a Marie Sklodowska-Curie Fellow in @VenomsLab, studies the venom of #spiders that eat specific prey, such as ants or termites. Please contact me or Ondřej @SpecSpiderVenom if you know where to find #WhiteTailedSpiders (Lampona murina), which eat other spiders.

Prey specialisation is known as stenophagy. Please contact Ondřej or me if you know where to find any of the pictured prey-specialist spiders. #WhiteTailedSpiders, #PelicanSpiders, #PirateSpiders & Portia prey on other spiders, while the other pictured spiders like to eat ants.

A spider, drawn using some of the amino acids found in their silk.
A bit niche, I know! This one took ~20 hours. Prints are available on my Etsy store now 🕷🍁🌹🐝🍊
Thanks to @compoundchem and @sciencefocus for the science 🧬
