Poppies exist in real life pharmacology to act on receptors in the brain to dampen pain. Where can this be seen in a video game? Hades II! One can cultivate these plants and induce dream like states in game similar to real life!

Yes. Science in Hades II. Nightshade, not just in the game, it can be poisonous in real life. This is all dose dependent, where certain lower doses have medicinal value while higher doses are deadly!

Our fourth annual #RaidsforResearch stream event benefitting @fredhutch.org was a huge success! We raised over $33k and had 20 incredible Twitch creators stream for a whole week, celebrating World Cancer Research day! From a 48-hour raid train to 5 researchers jumping on streams, it was amazing 💜👩‍🔬🔬
