Abstract

Q&A Nathan Myhrvold Nathan Myhrvold trained as a quantum cosmologist with Stephen Hawking and was chief technology officer of Microsoft before founding Intellectual Ventures, a US company that funds inventors and acquires patents. In the mid-1990s, I took a leave of absence from Microsoft and went to culinary school in France, and got back into cooking with a vengeance. Some of the technical solutions that we cover in the cookbook have led us to consider inventions to improve food safety in developing countries, where adequate sanitation is often lacking.
