In this episode of Green Chem Essential, with host James Rea: Learn how – and why — a motivated student and two professors at CU Boulder successfully worked to get green chemistry into the curriculum at their school.
Guests in this episode include; Brinn McDowell, Dr. Kathryn Ramirez Aguilar and Dr. Matthew E Wise
For more than 10 years now, the University of Toronto's Green Chemistry Initiative has been a wonderfully creative incubator for green chemistry learning on that campus. In this episode of Green Chem Essential, with host James Rea: Hear how -- and why -- this student-led group works to engage their peers in the science of sustainability.
The interview includes discussion about their annual spring ...
Schoolab is an innovation studio that pairs student teams with corporate partners to solve real-world business & design challenges. In the US, they run a program at the University of California Berkeley called "Deplastify the Planet."
Recently it became clear that the sustainable design solutions they were trying to create would benefit tremendously from taking their design thinking all the ...
Hydrogen holds tremendous promise as a medium for storing energy generated by renewable sources such as wind and solar. However, storing hydrogen has traditionally involved very high pressures or very cold temperatures, methods that lead to cost and safety challenges.
In this episode of Green Chem Essential, with host James Rea, Dr. Tom Autrey and his fellow researchers at Pacific Northwest ...
Hear how advances in green chemistry can help address environmental justice challenges and how engaging with affected communities can help green chemistry experts more effectively target their solutions.
My guest is Sederra Ross of the American Chemical Society's Green Chemistry Institute.
This episode includes 1) a 2-minute preview video, 2) a 45-minute video of the full interview... and 3) ...
In this episode, Professor Glenn Hurst takes his students at the University of York out into the world so they can see firsthand how their training in chemistry and chemical engineering can be channeled to help tackle sustainability challenges.
Along the way, the students learn the value of community engagement and evaluate their green chemistry and green engineering solutions in the context of ...
In this episode of Green Chem Essential, with host James Rea:
In 2003, Gordon College sophomore Laura Ouillette was assigned a research paper by her chemistry professor Irv Levy. Laura wanted her topic to reflect her interest in the environment, and so she chose to write her paper about research in Green Chemistry. Irv was highly skeptical... doubtful at the time that this was an area of "real" ...
If we are to meet the demands of sustainability and climate change in the time needed, green chemistry advancements will have to happen faster than traditional methods of discovery can often make possible.
In this episode of Green Chem Essential, with host James Rea, Dr. Alexi Lapkin and his fellow researchers describe how they are trying to use the combined power of machine learning & ...
The medicines we rely on may look tiny when we hold them in our hands, but the manufacturing processes that create those medicines happen at a very large scale. Anything that makes those processes cleaner, safer, and more efficient can have a tremendous impact on efforts to fight climate change and create a more sustainable future.
Hear how green chemistry is helping to make those changes ...
