Dear Patrons,

We let David and Ever experiment by making a video (almost) all on their own, and... they turned to drugs. Or rather, stereochemistry - how a tiny change in a molecule’s geometry completely changes its effects on the human body. Let us know what you think!

They talk about how they made it: https://youtu.be/tefxgYP0BVM

Thanks for giving us the confidence to do experiments like this and the collab last week with It's OK To Be Smart.

Best,

Alex
