In this episode we will be taking a look at some of the most dangerous elements on the periodic table and what exactly they do to cause so much damage. Also, when I said the tubulin binds to itself, I meant to say it binds to other tubulin proteins, I don't know where my thought process was going when I said that. Just a heads up, there is a little more background noise in this episode than normal, I don't know where it came from, but I noticed it when editing.
