Why are things like crab blood and scorpion venom so valuable?
Science is always finding new ways to harness nature. Antonia, Ellie and Laura discuss what the blood from a certain type of sea creature is used for, and how scorpion venom is being studied for a whole host of medical research. They also look at Pangolin scales used to treat some ailments and a giant tuna which sold for a small fortune, but might not necessarily be worth their price tag. Fact check: The cost of crab blood The news article from NPR about crab blood Facts about bacterial toxins News about scorpion venom More news about scorpion venom The journal article explaining the many potential uses of scorpion venom Pangolin scales in the news Some behavioural science used by the UK Government communications service to help change behaviours, which underscores Antonia and Laura's perspectives Possibly the world's most expensive tuna
