I recently had the chance to catch up with Scott McLaughlin and share some beers from Protector Brewing. Scott is a former counterintelligence officer of the United States Marine Corps, UCSD Rady MBA, and current Vice President of Business Development at Gene Go Cell. Our conversation covered a wide variety of topics including what the transition from the military to the life science world was like, how Gene Go Cell is trying to help breweries manage their yeast, their effort to develop a common sense COVID navigation strategy and more.
