The other day @hamud asked me “who do you look up to” and today I have a new addition to that list: Tim Friede

Friede intentionally subjected himself to snake bites for the better part of 25 years and now his body produces the basis for what  very well may become a universal antivenom for all snake bites 

"I couldn't believe it. I really couldn't believe it," he says. "I know I'm doing something for humanity and giving back to science."

Me too. The dedication to this project — to be willing and able to do this for so, so long, is awe inspiring 

I haven’t done anything for 25 years straight much less get voluntarily snake bit for the common good
