Quotes:

“We are very open to inspiration. If we eat something cool or experience a new flavor in a cocktail, we think about how we can recreate it in a beer and what processes and ingredients we need to do that.” -Nick Marron [04:01]

“We want to survey very diverse departments because we feel like that is exciting. We want to showcase all the great science that San Diego has. It is a challenge because it isn't a one size fits all curriculum, but we really try to tailor the program to what a team's needs are.” -Amir Ferry [22:45]
