Researchers have used artificial intelligence (AI) to develop proteins that can block the deadly effects of snake venom. They used a protein-design program called RFdiffusion to design ‘mini-binder’ proteins that attach to key regions of venom toxins to neutralize them. Mice injected with what would be a lethal dose of the venom all survived when given these mini-binders 15 minutes later. “This is probably the coolest experimental result I’ve had in my career so far,” says biochemist Susana Vázquez Torres.

and she would not be stroking her own cock if they had all died

How effing sick can you get just even thinking about doing this.

How about I shoot round her gaff and jab her with some venom to how she likes it

now that would be really cool
