Neivandt set for radio interview
Prof. David Neivandt of the UMaine Dept. of Chemical and Biological Engineering will discuss the lobster shell golf ball project on a pair of WVOM radio (103.9 FM) interviews this week. He’ll be the guest on Deb Neuman’s Back to Business segment during the George Hale/Ric Tyler Show from 8-9 a.m. Wednesday. The interview will then be broadcast on the Back to Business program at 2 p.m. Sunday. Neivandt and his colleagues in engineering and UMaine’s Lobster Institute have devised a way to create biodegradable golf balls from lobster shells. Potential customers for such a product include the cruise ship industry.
