Η παραγωγός ταινιών Πενέλοπε Τζαζέσαρ Σάφερ, στη διάρκεια της εγκυμοσύνης της, ενδιαφέρθηκε να μάθει για τις χημικές ουσίες με τις οποίες ερχόταν σε επαφή. Μπορούσαν να βλάψουν το μωρό της πριν γεννηθεί; Ζήτησε από έναν επιστήμονα, τον Tαϊρόουν Χέιζ, να την ενημερώσει για κάτι που εκείνος είχε μελετήσει καλά -την ατραζίνη, ένα εντομοκτόνο που χρησιμοποιείται στο καλαμπόκι. Ο Χέιζ, ως ειδικός στα αμφίβια, ασκεί δριμεία κριτική στην ατραζίνη που προκαλεί διαταραχές στην ανάπτυξη των βατρἀχων. Επάνω στο βήμα του TEDWomen, ο Χέιζ και η Σάφερ λένε την ιστορία τους.
