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. https://t.co/k0CuMogiMx

@LaPepena Not only that, you can sleep well knowing that Bolsotoxin has been deposed.

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.

[Lewis Archibald @LewisArchibald_]

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!

Back on Twitter after 1 month travelling to USA for @grcvenom, UK for Oxford Venoms & Toxins, Spain for 36th European Peptide Symposium, & Singapore to shoot a video for @PacBio. Nice to be back in sunny Brisbane for an extended period of time. Photo is of 'Venoms GRC' attendees.

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.

[Glenn King @VenomsLab]

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.

@VenomResearch @grcvenom @SamNScience @GelatinousSting @LundKoch @christinebeeton @NeoToxins Steve, it was great to catch up @grcvenom in Vermont. I'm glad you enjoyed the meeting, and thanks for a great presentation.

[Glenn King @VenomsLab]

@anti_d4 @grcvenom Glad you enjoyed the meeting @anti_d4. And thanks for a greta talk!

[Glenn King @VenomsLab]

Very cool! A perfect gift for @insect_venomics I reckon.

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 🧬
