It's been a while since I've tweeted for #ToxinTuesday, but for some reason I just felt like talking toxins today! Below is a picture of what might be my favorite #venomous animal...the irukandji #jellyfish. The smallest jellyfish and one of the most venomous. #nope #StayAway

Congratulations to @scimaven on all of her accomplishments, especially her most recent accomplishment of making it into #TheRoot100! @TheRoot thank you for acknowledging a remarkable #scientist and terrific #mentor! Keep up the great work @scimaven and continue to inspire!

@ETFwunderkind @michaelbatnick @michaelbatnick @ETFwunderkind loving all of this snail talk, so I had to chime in! My favorite species is nicknamed the cigarette snail- after getting stung you have just enough time to smoke a cigarette before you die! But it's supposed to be a painless death, so there's that!

@ericknud Thanks @ericknud!!! You did an excellent job as well! Congrats on being a doctor and I am excited to be joining you next month 😀

She travels the world to collect venomous mollusks in the hope that they can be used in medicine. Join us tonight at 6:30 PM for @GCPresents’ #InsideTheGC to get the full story of @TheSlowEscargot’s dissertation research--in 3 minutes! https://t.co/gZMm2oGayg

Q: #ToxinTuesday and I’m doing amazing #VenomResearch, how can I share with the world?
A: Apply for a @nature fellowship to go to @grcvenom conference on cover of @sciencemagazine! #earlycareer @GlobalYAcademy @IAPartnership @TWASnews @NextEinsteinFor https://t.co/UsUvzUNOJ0

One of the cutest mammals out there....and it's venomous! The short-tailed shrew produces a toxin in its saliva to help it paralyze its prey! #toxintuesday

[Snail Lady @TheSlowEscargot]

Toxins can be turned into drugs. The 2004 FDA approved Prialt, comes from the venom of Conus magus and treats chronic pain by blocking calcium channels in nerve cells. Bad Ass! #ToxinTuesday @scimaven @aida_verdes @chipotlau

@toxicologist12 In the venom research world, your definitions are not correct. The difference between poisons and venoms are very clear- in the way in which they are delivered. BUT, they are both harmful substances, produced by organisms, that are made up of toxins.

What is the difference between poison, toxins, and venom?
Venoms work through the bloodstream- injected. Poisons work through the digestive track- eaten or inhaled. Toxins are just the chemicals that make up your poisons and venoms

One of my favorite videos to show to high school students! If they weren't interested in science or venom research before, this definitely gets their attention!

It's #ToxinTuesday! This is the tarantula Psalmopeous cambridgei. PcTx1 is a toxin isolated from its venom that inhibits ASIC channels in the nervous system. PcTx1 is being investigated as a cure for gliomas, to prevent strokes and to treat anxiety. #GRCvenom18 #venomtodrugs
