One of the beautiful things about leveraging biotechnology and yeast in this way is that we just talked about yeast being a miniature factory, but it's a miniature factory that replicates itself with, if you just give it a little bit of sugar.
“Which is of course not something that our larger scale factories do, but yes, absolutely.”
It's a very good analogy. And, yes, that's correct. I mean, one of the beautiful things about leveraging biotechnology and yeast in this way is that, you know, we just talked about yeast being a miniature factory, but it's a miniature factory that replicates itself with, if you just give it a little bit of sugar. Right. Which is of course not something that our larger scale factories do, but yes, absolutely. So we have now miniature factories that, you know, will continue to basically replicate themselves as we scale the technology. It, because it's a living thing, does it ever mutate?
Why this clip
Brilliant analogy that makes complex biotech accessible. The 'miniature factory that replicates itself' is a perfect soundbite that captures the revolutionary nature of the technology in simple terms.
What they said next
It took us over ten years to actually show that it was possible, that first demonstration at Stanford. And there were many people who said it is impossible.
