🕷️Can tarantula toxins be used as pain medicine?🧪

Scientists from @ucdavis.bsky.social are researching how Protoxin-II, a protein found in tarantula venom, can be used as an alternative to current opioid painkillers like morphine.

Find out how the the toxin stops pain in the nervous system in VR!

GOOD NEWS, DORKS! YOUR voice matters. Research shows people still trust scientists — just the wrong ones.

But we can change that.

GET OUT THERE! SPEAK UP!

Science’s big problem is a loss of influence, not a loss of trust
Evidence shows that science and scientists remain highly trusted. But genuine scientific voices are not shouting loud enough over the noise to hold sway.
