In the 1940s chemists discovered that barbasco, a wild yam indigenous to Mexico, could be used to mass-produce synthetic steroid hormones. Barbasco spurred the development of new drugs, including cortisone and the first viable oral contraceptives, and positioned Mexico as a major player in the global pharmaceutical industry. Yet few people today are aware of Mexico’s role in achieving these advances in modern medicine. In Jungle Laboratories, Gabriela Soto Laveaga reconstructs the story of how rural yam pickers, international pharmaceutical companies, and the Mexican state collaborated and collided over the barbasco. By so doing, she sheds important light on a crucial period in Mexican history and challenges us to reconsider who can produce science. Soto Laveaga traces the political, economic, and scientific development of the global barbasco industry from its emergence in the 1940s, through its appropriation by a populist Mexican state in 1970, to its obsolescence in the mid-1990s. She focuses primarily on the rural southern region of Tuxtepec, Oaxaca, where the yam grew most freely and where scientists relied on local, indigenous knowledge to cultivate and harvest the plant. Rural Mexicans, at first unaware of the pharmaceutical and financial value of barbasco, later acquired and deployed scientific knowledge to negotiate with pharmaceutical companies, lobby the Mexican government, and ultimately transform how urban Mexicans perceived them. By illuminating how the yam made its way from the jungles of Mexico, to domestic and foreign scientific laboratories where it was transformed into pills, to the medicine cabinets of millions of women across the globe, Jungle Laboratories urges us to recognize the ways that Mexican peasants attained social and political legitimacy in the twentieth century, and positions Latin America as a major producer of scientific knowledge.

After narrowly escaping from the men in black, Darren, Bill, and their ragtag team of defectors are on the move once again. They are in need of emergency medical care, and with mainstream healthcare out of the question, they are grasping for the last straw they can reach: Marconi's secret city in South America. There they encounter medical miracles and technological advancements beyond man's wildest dreams. It does not take long for curiosity and a sense of adventure to overtake this mix of scientists, military personnel, and everyday explorers, and soon their new safe haven becomes a treasure trove of wonder and danger.Meanwhile, across the Atlantic Ocean, Darren's daughter Dana and tech wizard Jason work to reveal the secrets Darren's wife, Amy, left for Dana on a series of floppy disks. But how can they access files on a piece of technology so outdated it's virtually obsolete? As they attempt to solve this mystery, Jason and Dana are forced to watch as the world around them spirals into chaos. A new wave of censorship has begun to take down Alex Jones and other truth seekers under the guise of hate speech. This time, though, Dana and Jason are not content with sitting complacently as the Hidden Hand attempts to gain complete control of the internet, the final outlet left for those trying to bring about change.Will Darren and his accomplices continue to evade the powers-that-be? Is there any way that Dana and Jason can get the truth out to the public? What secrets does Marconi's city hold? And most importantly, are some secrets best left buried-permanently?
