"I’m a synthetic chemist, I know how to makematerials but I don’t necessarily know what tomake... Now the thing I love about what I do is I

interact directly with our end-use customers. I workwith them to figure out what they need out of the

material, and then I go and figure out how totranslate that back into the product that we put in

the bottle."
