He teaches at all levels, with a particular focus on the subject of venomous animals. Much of his research involves examining the biology and ecology of dangerous species found in Australia. In 1998, Seymour established and became director of the Tropical Australian Venom Research Unit, which is recognized as one of the leading premier laboratories in the world dealing with the study of the ecology, biology and medical treatment of venomous marine creatures, particularly box jellyfish. He has been involved in programs designed to decrease the envenoming of humans by box jellyfish in Australia, East Timor, Thailand, and Hawaii. Seymour's work has also been directly responsible for changes in the present treatment protocol for jellyfish stings in Australia.[3] Seymour attributes his interest in marine biology primarily to his father, who as a young boy scout was involved in a canoeing accident that led to the drownings of everyone involved except him and his friend. As a result, his children were taught to swim at a very early age. Seymour, who lived on the Clarence River in Grafton, New South Wales, spend much of his early life swimming, diving and sailing. Because his whole childhood revolved around the water, Seymour considered it preordained that he would end up with his subsequent career.[4] Appearances on televisionSeymour has appeared in a number of television documentaries as an expert on venomous creatures, particularly marine stingers. They include:
In addition, he has collaborated with Destin Sandlin in multiple videos of Smarter Every Day, and also hosts the educational YouTube channel The Nature of Science.[11] Seymour also made an appearance in the novel "The Thing About Jellyfish" by Ali Benjamin.
