Amazing #conesnails! Check out our discovery of toxins that affect glucose levels🐚
Excited to share our latest story on how fish-hunting cone snail uses a combination of weaponized insulin and somatostatin-like toxins to disrupt glucose level in its fish prey 🐚⚡️🐠🍬
Check out our paper and animation to learn more:

Thank you @GelatinousSting and @SamNScience for being excellent #GRSVenom24 chairs! It was a great GRS, looking forward to the @grcvenom!
Thank you to everyone that participated and helped to organize #GRSVenom24! It’s a whirlwind to see months of work come together, and such a joy to see all the amazing work our peers are doing!
Could not have been done without my co-chair @SamNScience @grcvenom! 💙🕷️🪼

That’s a wrap! Learned so much during @EUVENAction Introductory Venomics Training School these past few days.
Grateful to all the speakers for sharing resources and their knowledge and expertise. Special thanks to @evolriffs and #EUVEN team for organizing it! 👏👏👏
There’s an opportunity to be in the Philippines 🇵🇭 and impact young students by teaching research or the sciences.

Well, they did it... @ScienceNight1 podcast, they talked about having some #ConeSnail merch in an earlier episode and here it is! Check it out!
@paulaflorezsalc maybe we should feature your #ConeSnail #art and stickers! 😉
I had a great conversation with @James_Reed3 on the @ScienceNight1 podcast about cone snails, our research, and some field stories. Here’s the episode!
🚨NEW EPISODE🚨 Check out the new episode featuring @irisbeara from the @SafaviLab wherever you get #podcasts and at: scinight.com/episodes/the-ba…

You'll have to wait for Friday (5/27) to see the new merch we've designed to go with the next episode, but here is a censored version of the design to start building that sweet sweet hype! #scicomm #sciart #podcast #conesnail
Looking more into our recently discovered somatostatin-like cone snail peptides (consomatins), it was surprising to see so many consomatin sequences from worm-hunting cone snails. 😯
It was indicating a similar signaling system in worms! 🪱
