If you haven’t got the chance to read his work, we invite you to read the very nice summary on PNAS blog post written by Amy McDermott. Also for the more curious, Agneesh is part of the lab initiative to make science more reproducible and always include interactive codes, so check it out here!

We surely will looking out for what Agneesh will craft next from his venom extracts data!
