Venomous snakebites affect millions of people each year, and take the lives of over 100,000. My mom survived a snakebite in 2020, and I've been interested in raising awareness about this underrecognized crisis since then. This podcast documents conversations with some of the world's leaders in snakebite. We hope cover every field, from clinical to grassroots mobilization, ecology, molecular biology, history and more!
