This is our second episode in a two part series on neurotoxins! Check out Episode 12 where we talk about Toxic Shark and toxins from an evolutionary perspective.

Ana Santos joins us to help us understand how poisons work, why we study poisons in the lab, why it's exciting to eat a Puffer Fish, and what venomous or poisonous creature best represents her.
