Show Notes

One of the deficiencies of the lubrication industry has been its capacity to convey the value of the technology through meaningful stories. Laurie Winkless is here to change that; her new book (Sticky: The Secret Science of Surfaces) is an in-depth look at the science of tribology and surface science that weaves narratives of Olympic achievement, professional controversy and curiosity. It's a truly fascinating read and worthwhile for anyone in the industry - but most importantly Laurie shares some storytelling tips that we can use in our own work.
