BioSteel is a trademark name for a high-strength based fiber material made of the recombinant spider silk-like protein extracted from the milk of transgenic goats, made by Nexia Biotechnologies.

The company has created lines of goats that produce recombinant versions of either the MaSpI^{[expand acronym]} or MaSpII^{[expand acronym]} dragline silk proteins in their milk. When the female goats lactate, the milk, containing the recombinant silk, is harvested and subjected to chromatographic techniques to purify the recombinant silk proteins.

The purified silk proteins are then dried, dissolved using solvents (DOPE formation) and transformed into microfibers using wet-spinning fiber production methodologies. The spun fibers so far have tenacities in the range of 2 - 3 grams/denier and elongation range of 25-45%. The "Biosteel biopolymer" has been transformed into nanofibers and nanomeshes using the electrospinning technique.

Biosteel and other biopolymers are being researched to provide lightweight, strong, and versatile materials for a variety of medical and industrial applications. Nexia Biotechnologies plans to use the spider silk from the milk of transgenic goats for bulletproof vests and anti-ballistic missile systems.

Ronald Harold "Ron" MacLean (born April 12, 1960) is a Canadian sportscaster for the CBC who is best known as the host of Hockey Night in Canada and is also a hockey referee.

MacLean was born in Zweibrücken, West Germany, where his father, an officer in the Royal Canadian Air Force, was stationed at the Metz France Air Base.

According to his biography he was called by the Program Director at the time (Martin Smith) to fill in for a sick friend who had recommended him. His initial duties were little more than pushing buttons and playing commercials, but was soon granted the opportunity to become a disc jockey. Ron MacLean was still in high school at the time.
