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…
Why I no longer post on Twitter.

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.
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 🧬

Huge congrats to @VenomsLab grad student Shaodong Guo on passing his #PhD oral examination! It has been a tremendous privilege to mentor Shaodong on his PhD journey investigating the potential of #SpiderVenom #Peptides as #EcoFriendly #bioinsecticides. #proudPI 👏🥂🎉🕷️
Fantastic opportunity for #postdoctoral study in the #HolfordLab, led by the fabulous Mandë Holford @scimaven. As well as the opportunity to do great science, you will receive superb mentoring and #SciComm opportunities.
📣 We’re ( #Holfordlab) recruiting postdoctoral fellows to study rapidly evolving genes in marine organisms, venom evolution, peptides in immunity, + to help advance #scicomm by creating a new @NIH-Funded #AR #VenomSquad Learning Game! Science goodness! @grcvenom @EUVENAction
Huge congrats to @VenomsLab student Jessica (Jess) Beanland for graduating yesterday with First Class Honours for her research on #octopus #chemosensation. Her violin playing also brought a new dimension to our lab jams! #ProudPI #WomenInSTEM
Outstanding opportunity for a #PhD scholarship to work on computational screening of #antifungal drugs with the fabulous @DeplazesEvelyne!
Join me for a PhD!
I'm looking for a student with a background in physical chemistry, biophysics or biomaterial science who is enthusiastic, self-directed and creative.
