What is the topic of Bryan's speech?

I am waiting to hear back from Bryan as to what he will be talking about. I would say one thing is for sure, it will revolve around venom.
He is currently traveling all over the place and last I heard from him he was in Russia.
Once I have confirmation I will post it here.
For anyone that has not met Bryan in person, he is one guy that has more energy than most, is fascinating to listen to, has a wealth of knowledge and normally ends up with his shirt off...

A quick update....

Bryan will be talking about his research on venom in monitors. I am sure this will be an amazing talk as to why he discovered something that had missed by many researchers over the years.
More info to follow closer to the date.
