Annotation by Joshua Lederberg:

Node: DuPont ; company emblematic of chemical industrial innovation,
from Carrothers-Nylon onward.  In grade school I did a color acrylic paint
poster with DuPont slogan "Better Things for Better Living through Chemistr


KW: DuPont plastics; labware;

[in 1990's DuPont no longer regarded itself as a Chemical but a Biotech
company.  So much for "better Things for Better Living *thorugh Chemistry*"]

I ask hom to get his company into the business of plastic labware,
that can be autoclaved.
