Woah #1 on reddit? What does it feel like to finally be famous?

1) What are your thoughts on Mithridatism and have you considered attempting it yourself given your field?

2) Have you come across examples of significant differences in venom compositions in any species that were originally assumed to be conspecific only to be later split thanks to molecular or other systematic revisions? I.E Have you had any examples of significant differences in venom composition between cryptic species? How important is alpha taxonomy to your field and is there a general movement away from such research in Australia and is it hampering our understanding of biodiversity and venom evolution in general?

In Africa we have a huge problem with local people tending to their fields being envenomated by saw-scaled vipers and puff adders in areas with a lack of knowledge of syndromic/symptomatic treatment and certainly no anti-venom even if it were required, do you think that any of your experiences with developing programs to reduce jellyfish envenomings might be able to translate to the terrestrial environment in areas with limited infrastructure?

I asked this earlier regarding spino's crest in particular, but it got buried.

What is the consensus on spinosaurus' hunting strategy, and is this being considered:
