The Man. Scott is a senior majoring in Chemical Engineering and Chemistry. Scott has recently discovered many strains of bacteria that produce bleach. Everyday, he comes into the lab to find his samples at peak production. Transcription is not understood yet, but the bleach production is related to a time variable as it happens overnight... every night. [back]
