In this episode I take you on a wild scientific ride. If you took molecular biology, it will come in handy today! This discovery means allows Carrine to grow algae using products from 2 different waste streams: A polymer called chitin, which is a material used by crustaceans and mushrooms in their shells and cell wall structure.

Biofuel - as a replacement for fossil fuel. while cleaning the phosphorus from the water. If you get lost in the science, don’t worry - I throw you a rescue line with a simple explanation of the whole system part-way through this conversation.
