LASURI is open to any student whose major field of study is in the college of Liberal Arts and Sciences. We encourage students majoring in the humanities, social sciences, and natural sciences to participate in the program, and we understand that research is conducted differently across the disciplines.
A snake can only strike with authority within a distance of one- half its body length. So a distance of four feet or more will keep you safe. Give the snake time to go on its way. Remember, most snakes -- even venomous ones -- are not aggressive and would rather avoid a confrontation with people.
This is much faster than most snakes. Additionally, the black mamba arguably has the fastest strike of any snake in the world. This snake's speed and agility, combined with its deadly venom and often-aggressive attitude, makes it one of the most dangerous species in the world.
