Progress

A new revised draft on the V. berus venom study on Balkans are due to be published within the next weeks. Also the research team will have a meeting this Friday to take things further regarding the full study on European variations in venom toxicity and composition. Stay tuned for more information.

We are coming to a point where most team members have been decided and an upcoming first meeting will be held within the next few weeks. Meanwhile, the team management draws up documents and sets the work environment. It is important to get this going, anyone joining in later could do so without any problem.

The work will be cloud-based, and the contributors will do distance work and attend virtual meeting rooms for planning, brainstorming, and reporting.

There are open spots in a Vipera berus venom research project that has just launched. The group working on this study consists of researchers and volunteers from different countries, therefore proficiency in English is an absolute must.

There are also a few other prerequisites that collaborators must meet, formal membership in Evidence-Based Toxicology Collaboration (EBTC) is one of them. More information about the study, methods, and goals will be given to interested parties. Use the contact form to apply. Provide any relevant information for the first screening, and remember to mention if you have any credentials.

This is an excellent opportunity to learn evidence synthesis, scientific processes, and how to conduct research from actual researchers and scientists. You can book a meeting about the project via this link.

Article Pre-study on The Venom Toxicity of Vipera berus in Southeast Europe to Provide Foundations and Guidelines for Further Evidence-based Research on Venom Variability Throughout Eurasia submitted to the Journal Evidence-Based Toxicology for peer review and publication.
