Quotes About Bugs

In a new plant for even established processes or products, there will probably be a shake-down period of six to eight weeks that will prove rather expensive.

Better biofuels are a really big deal. That means we can precisely engineer the molecules in the fuel chain and optimize them along the way. So, if all goes well, they're going to have designer bugs in warm vats that are eating and digesting sugars to excrete better biofuels. I guess that's better living through bugs.
