  • Bert wants to use nitinol someday. It is super-elastic and has shape memory.

  • Larry’s dad was called Mr. Steel and his uncle worked on submarine propellors.

  • Thought about being an actuary

  • Quickly moved into project management – lots of capital products

  • HVAC in an R&D building is huge expense

  • Kosher surfactants are a thing

  • A big problem with waste is transporting it.

  • Cincinnati is building an anaerobic digester, P&G is a big “supplier”

  • Kentucky’s water is key to horses and bourbon.

  • Does burning plastic count as recycling it?

  • Bio-char is becoming a thing.

  • Larry collects guitars instead of cars.

  • His favorites hacks are in Excel.
