Alabama NewsCenter — Alabama chemist Darryl Love found the formula for a distinguished career in medical innovation

By: Solomon Crenshaw Jr.

Darryl Love’s passion for science grew partly from his childhood taste in movies. The resident of Fairfield’s Fair Oaks community gravitated to Frankenstein movies and “The Fly.”

“I kind of wanted to be like that guy just in his own little world, mixing up stuff and doing whatever he wanted to,” said Love, senior research and development scientist with Evonik Birmingham Laboratories, a specialty chemicals company. “I didn’t want to end up with my head on a fly. The way those guys operated was kind of the way I wanted to do things.”

Throughout his 47-year career, Love lived the life that he had embraced on the silver screen. But the career chemist was no mad scientist diabolically trying to take over the world. Instead, his work helped to positively change the worlds of countless men and women.
