0:00A: Um, well, I’d be really curious, and I’d love you to repeat my question. Like, you say you’re a chemical engineering major?
0:05B: Yeah.
0:05A: What is that like for somebody who’s in high school and like doesn’t know what that would even mean?
0:09B: Okay, so basically, um, chemists, they work on like lab benches.
0:16A: He’s like 7.
0:17B: Oh, okay, okay. So you know how chemists, they work, um, stereotypically in like the lab benches, like small-scale stuff? with like the small, um, flasks, like glass things, containers and stuff like that. Well, chemical engineers take those measurements that they make, or like, um, I guess like record, and we scale them up to like 1,000, like 10,000%. So it’s like on like an industrial scale, like processing. That’s basically what we do.
