It was a boring morning, so I tuned into YouTube to see if episod
e 4 of the Bisco Bites series would perk me up. And oh boy, did it! It starts off with a bang involving a machete, a cucumber, and a watermelon. I’m warning you so you don’t miss it like I just about did jumping out of my chair! Bisco Research Chemist Christine Gleave, she who wields the machete, grabs your attention and explains how she tests shear bond strength in the laboratory. You gotta see it!
After only a few seconds of very enlightening factoids, episode 5 jumps on the screen with Research Chemist Arthur Ralko talking about monomers. He takes you through molecules to polymer chains to BIS-GMA to how it all makes composites stronger.
There is nothing boring about Bisco’s R&D staff. They are having a blast "Bringing Science to the Art of Dentistry"!
