Discern EarthCaleb Meredith on Energy StewardshipIn this episode I speak with Caleb Meredith, a materials scientist currently working at TerraSafe Materials, an early-stage climate startup in the sustainable packaging space. We explore his vision of energy stewardship and discuss:• His path from chemical engineering to materials science, sparked by early experiences exploring nature and fascination with micro-scale phenomena.• The key distinctions between chemical engineering's industrial process focus versus materials science's structural relationships.• How biological complexity initially drove him toward simpler physics before drawing him back to bio-derived materials.• Why the "natural versus synthetic" materials divide misses the poin...2024-08-1327 min
