Episode 68. "Pick Your Poison" The Science of Toxicity - Batrachotoxin with Dr. Justin Du Bois
Manage episode 314998629 series 2918770
Poison Dart Frogs are synonymous with toxicity. In fact, species in the Phyllobates Genus are among the most toxic animals on earth. They owe that toxicity to their ability to produce batrachotoxin. In this episode I am joined by Chemist, Dr. Justin Du Bois, who is an expert on batrachotoxin. We discuss the origins behind the scientific study of batrachotoxin, its effect on other living organisms, how and why it is being synthesized, and much more!
