Interesting articles on the "Oxford Silk Group" and some of the technologies they inspired.

I also included some links to other random sites I've been reading.

Most of this is old news--some of it VERY old--but fascinating information for anyone interested.

FYI, I don't believe KBLB is mentioned in any of these articles or videos, especially given how dated some of them are.

Best wishes for our success!

This video shows the "life of a silkworm."


This video shows "silkworm metamorphosis"



This one is interesting, it's a website but it's like a PowerPoint w/ audio ... slides change, etc. It takes a few seconds for the slideshow to launch from the main site.

There are a bunch of random but interesting articles on the BBC, found by just doing a search for spider silk:
