At least some if this is a bit dated, and I'm sure many of you have far more information than what I'm putting in, but I thought it might be worthwhile to give a nod to our shoulder-less brethren for their contributions to our wellbeing...

Dr. Fry...a quick nod to your efforts as well; humanity certainly owes you many thanks for your research and life's work...

The North Carolina Aquarium at Pine Knoll Shores will be featuring venomous (and poisonous) animals as the theme for our 2015 summer season, covering marine creatures such as jellies, stingrays, cone shells and invasive lionfish, as well as terrestrial invertebrates and, of course, snakes. Things are still very much in the formative stages of early planning - I'm pressing for the title "VENOM - it could save your life!" The idea is to present the public with a comprehensive and as much as possible, up-to-date exhibition that demonstrates recent uses and developments of biotoxins in research and medicine. At this point I would welcome any ideas and suggestions from the venomous community - what types of exhibits would you most like to see? Our focus is normally restricted to aquatic environments of NC, but we can stretch things a bit for these types of special events.
