Event Description
From biomimicry to toxicology, green chemistry offers powerful solutions to some of the world’s most pressing crises. This year, we want to zero-in on the powerfully adaptable principles of green chemistry, and their role in forming connections between educators, industry, and advocates.
How? This year's speakers are a host of change makers from diverse professions— each working to apply green chemistry in unique and inventive ways. K-12 educators, higher education faculty, industry professionals, advocates, and all are welcome to join these interactive, monthly conversations.
In order to accommodate a growing global community, we are approaching connections differently this year.
Still on the third Wednesday of the month, we will be rotating through three alternating times. Can't make it to a webinar, or need a reminder? Don't stress! When you register, you will have access to recordings, calendar invites, and reminders-- all sent directly to your inbox.
Please feel free to share these webinars with friends and colleagues of all disciplines and backgrounds. We know the true power of our green chemistry community is how we connect with the world— so, come connect with us!
