All of us encounter spiders quite often, be it in our rooms or on different parts of campus. While these beautiful creatures may inspire fear in some of us, we can’t deny the beautiful architecture that is their web. Ever wondered how these spiders (and spiderman) got their web spinning powers? Well, look no further! Join us this week as Fenil describes how spiders evolved and developed their spinnerets.
See you on Wednesday at 4 PM- as usual, chai is on us!
