    Can you de-venom a tarantula?

    Dr. Fred Sachs (:worship: ) at the University of Buffalo is studying this. The peptide GSMTX-4 is extracted from the venom of G. rosea. It can be used to treat atrial and ventrical fibrulation and it may be an effective treatment for Muscular Dystrophy. It is totally awesome. E.

    Kid on Jay Leno?

    Thanks, but my point is that this kid might have been just scared. And he have done good the first time he was on since the thingy on the internet said it was his second time on the show. They certainly never asked me back! So, let's cut him some slack! Elizabeth

    Kid on Jay Leno?

    I didn't see him but I do know it is pretty scary on the set. The show is filmed live and you don't get a chance to fix it if you mess up. I was so scared that when Jay Leno asked me why Fluffy was spinning silk I froze! I tried to find stuff about him on the net but couldn't. Elizabeth

    Introductions to systematics

    Question Thank you so much, Mr. Boris. In my biology book, they are teaching us the five kingdom system by Linnaeus, but the book mentions other systems. One of those is the "three domain system". Is that what claudistics is? Or is it another system. It's all very confusing! :? Elizabeth
