WATCH - Extreme Science

When you think of a scientist, you immediately think of someone in a white lab coat mixing interesting substances. But science is so much more and goes so much further than that cliché. The researchers we are putting in the spotlight in this special edition of KIJK are the people who go to great lengths to help the world move forward.

For example, by 'milking' all kinds of poisonous animals so that they can use their deadly substances to search for new medicines against chronic pain, diabetes, cancer, multiple sclerosis and other conditions. Or burying and then digging up those remains, in order to determine how a human body decomposes - so that detectives can solve murders faster thanks to that knowledge. All people who work from the idea: everything for science! Enjoy this extremely fascinating special.
