It\u2019s their venom, with its complex and varied compounds, that makes these snails a valuable part of medical research today. Alan Kohn, professor emeritus of biology at the University of Washington, pioneered research into cone snails as a Yale graduate student in the 1950s. The result of his studies was a seminal moment in marine and medical science.<\/p>\n<p>In this video, Kohn explains how cone snails use their neurochemical arsenal and some medieval-looking hardware.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Special Thanks<\/strong><br \/>\nAlan Kohn<br \/>\nBurke Museum of Natural History and Culture<br \/>\nJon-Paul Bingham, University of Hawai\u2018i at M\u0101noa<br \/>\nThomas F.
