That's what flesh eating venoms are for probably

Granted from what I've seen the "next" step for most medicines seems to be to make their targeting more accurate and thus reduce nasty side effects and improve their performance .

Like Artifically made Trans fats and PUFAs.

Or capsaicin, AKA chili pepper. Actually toxic but humans eat it on purpose anyway because they like the taste and have too much body mass to suffer ill effects beyond mild diarrhea.

Apparently there is a yearly "Dance your Ph.D" contest, which is exactly what it says on the tin, and seems like a fun way to present scientific ideas.

This year's winner (Kangaroo Time) involves studying the social dynamics of kangaroos: the quick summary is that kangaroos behave a lot like people do, but the video has more dancing.

The 15 January 2022 Hunga (Tonga) eruption: A gas-driven climactic explosion rather than a steam explosion as we all thought. Article posits that a lot of gas had been trapped below clay-like rocks, until they gave way like a pressure cooker sans safety valve tends to explode after a while.
