1.3: Friends or Foes? Spiders, Jellyfish, and Your Immune System

Nature is trying to kill you – whether it’s animals, the environment, or your own body – so you might as well learn about it before it does!


In this bite-sized episode, we discover a new spider in Australia that has been named after Tom Hardy and his Marvel character Venom, explore deadly spiders in the country, and find out that the ugliest ones are sometimes (but not always!) the friendliest.


We also explore how jellyfish can learn without a brain, new hope for a vaccine against autoimmune diseases, and how viruses and autoimmunity are related.


Show Notes

  • The spider named after Tom Hardy and Venom
  • Turns out, jellyfish can learn without a brain
  • New hope for a vaccine against autoimmune diseases
  • Research into the link between Epstein-Barr virus and multiple sclerosis
