But I thought, no, no, experiment with resins, experiment with polymers.

Natural polymers, well ... I think that's what's most important, because these polymers have been tried and tested in our ecosystem for the last billion years, in everything from mushrooms to crustaceans.

In our world we use about 350 polymers to make all this.

We use five polymers in the natural world to do everything that you see.

This is made bone is made from a mixture of inorganic minerals and polymers.

And also, I thought that there would be synthetic polymers, plastics, embedded in the rock.

When that moves into polymers, you can change the elasticity, the fluidity of the form.

The revised proposal was sent again for evaluation, and now the reviewers reason for rejecting it was that new polymers would not be safe to test on animals or people. Another graduate student showed that the polymers were safe.

Yet one of my graduate students synthesized the polymers for his doctoral thesis. We sent the proposal back for another review, only to be told that the grant should still not be funded, because the polymers would react with whatever drug we wanted to deliver.

We can call it the engineering approach, and I claim that the engineering approach is within range.

The hardest thing at this point is the social engineering and the organizational engineering, but it's here today.
