Why does the urine of blue crabs instill such intense fear in mud crabs? The answer has fascinated readers since findings by Georgia Tech researchers made news in early January. Now, the story has been picked up by Chemical & Engineering News in both their digital and print publications. C&EN's coverage includes a video that sheds light on how researchers worked with the crabs. Interviewed on the video are Julia Kubanek, a professor in the Schools of Biological Sciences and Chemistry and Biochemistry who co- led the study with  Marc Weissburg, a professor in the School of Biological Sciences.
