Step into a wild world of ancient footprints and venomous fangs! Anthony takes us through a thrilling palaeontological mystery, while the secrets of viper venom unfold in an evolutionary tale of survival and biochemical brilliance with Lorenzo. Expect dinosaurs, toxins, and science that bites!
How to Stop a Dinosaur Stampede
Dr Anthony Romilio (Research Associate, University of Queensland)
Anthony Romilio describes his journey from PhD student to Australia's top palaeontology researcher. Re-examining Lark Quarry's 'Dinosaur Stampede' led to controversy, setbacks, and breakthroughs in biomechanics, virtual reconstructions, and scientific impact.
The Viper Pit
Lorenzo Seneci (PhD candidate, University of Queensland)
Australia is known as the land of venoms, but there is no shortage of toxins beyond the Torres Strait. Among snakes, vipers have honed and perfected their venom to an amazing level. But what makes viper venom such a deadly weapon? Only one way to find out- a journey into the multiverse of toxins that makes up one of the most fascinating creations of evolution.
