If you find them and are able to safely collect them, you can take them to drop off point to be used to study and develop more antivenoms.

They will act dead, and can survive underwater for at least 30 hours. They can be very aggressive.

They are very interesting spiders.

Thank you for sharing the information. I had a look at them and the males, they have a dangerous look for not too dangerous spiders. Probably a good survival mechanism 😊.

Funnelwebs are the most feared spider in Australia I would say. For good reason they are highly venomous.

The purseweb spider has some similarities to our Sydney Funnel Web spider (not one to mess with).

Are the purseweb's considered dangerous?

No problem. I'm going through trying to find new systems at the moment. But I have used OneNote for the past few years for work and uni work.

You may not want to change systems, but I have found TickTick to be really good for task lists and I'm pretty sure they have widgets. It has a notes option now, it wouldn't be as in-depth as OneNotes though.

She was in Australia earlier this year, but I wasn't able to go see her unfortunately 😔

Hopefully she will return.

So glad you got to go!

I first learnt about Fern from Taskmaster. Then found out she is Autistic and had a book.

It was so brilliant. Plenty of tears listening to it also.

One of most favourite audiobooks! Fern's personal story is so interesting, raw and fun. It encapsulates the experiences of late-diagnosis for Autistic people so wonderfully/painfully.

Bonus tips, check out Fern on Taskmaster for a wonderful time.

Open access Research 101 training is now available. It was created with Autistic adults. Ideally, researchers would use this training for their Autistic collaborators who want more information about research. salvesen-research.ed.ac.uk/our-projects...

Oh, you "heard" there was a secret chord that David played and it pleased the Lord? Cite your sources, bro. This is how misinformation spreads

Many Autistics have learned to mask so well, and have practised for so long, that we find it difficult to know who we are when we remove our masks.

The hardest part of unmasking is working out who you really are.

For me it was to stop trying to fit in. Say no to things that bother you and try (not easy) to relax.

It won’t happen overnight but it will come and the real autistic you will emerge.
