Today the European Grid Infrastructure (EGI) launched their new online video series “Stories from the grid” at the International Symposium on Grids and Clouds in Taipei. The first episode is about how a component of the toxic venom used by the cone snail is being modified using the aid of computer models to help produce new anaesthetics and alleviate the muscle spasms caused by the condition dystonia. This work features WeNMR and CONCO (two EU-funded project) researchers from the Utrecht partner. The movie is accessible from YouTube. See: http://go.egi.eu/conco
