Earlier this year I wrote about some fascinating research from the lab of chemist Justin Du Bois, PhD, who has been working with naturally occurring toxins with the goal of developing ways of combatting pain. This class of toxins is found in a number of poisonous animals, including the newts scurrying around Stanford campus, puffer fish and mollusks in red tides.
Now, graduate student Rhiannon Thomas-Tran, who has been working with Du Bois, produced a great video describing their approach, complete with some pretty creative drawings.
