Nichelle Shannon Rossiter asks what she should study to work
with rain-forest derived substances? Suggest pharmacology or
biochemistry. These are the obvious choices.

I also read a new book called  Medical Herpetology which
details hundreds of research studies on important pharmaceutical
substances in various stages of development which have been
derived from rain forest amphibians and reptiles. It also
delves into detail on herbal treatments for snake bite
poisoning, substances found in animals with natural immunity,etc.
It is an inspiration and a jumping off point for anyone working 
working in these areas. It is prefaced by recent U.N. initiatives
in this area. The publisher's phone number is 717-622-6050. It
is 19.95 plus 2.50 p&p.
