Our Guest
Bea (https://mobile.twitter.com/irisbeara) is a graduate student at the University of Copenhagen and member of the Safavi Lab (https://mobile.twitter.com/SafaviLab).  Her work on the biomolecular properties of cone snail venom has taken her around the world to learn and work on potential hidden uses in its chemical makeup.  She's also a great science communicator and teacher, especially when she gets to teach children about her work with these marvelous mollusks.
