In today's episode, Harini talks about 2019 Golden Goose awardees, Dr. Jack Levin and Dr. Frederik Bang, who pioneered the Limulus Amebocyte Lysate (LAL) Test by identifying the sterilizing potential of horseshoe crab blood. To this day, the blood of horseshoe crabs is used in pharmaceutical testing to ensure safety during drug development. Harini and Megan talk about these fascinating, living fossils and the potential for synthetic alternatives.
