  • Jerald Villarmino was just tagged in a comment: @Jerald Villarmino , what is your issue with alphabetical sorting?I guess combining it with state (solid, fluid etc) often is a practical solution.Howevever, what I would truly adivce is to set up a software that enables search and notes - an excel is often enough if one doesnt want to go for a full fletched software that enables bar-coding.The excel is great because not only can you find things in not time if you have multiple cupboards but it also allows you to organize re-stocking and expiry dates efficiently...
  • Jerald Villarmino was just tagged in a comment: hey all, @Jerald Villarmino yes I see that Hina posted twice again. I originally went to unpublish them, but I think Nim and I will have to have a conversation about it first. The concern here is that a) the forum topics are still not specifically related to green chemistry, and b) they are not in the correct forum (although I don't think there would be an appropriate forum for them given they're not GC specific...). I would hold off on commenting for now until Nim and I can chat about it. The primary issue is that the user has posted again in the same manner as before despite us asking them not to once already. It's possible they did not get our previous email (maybe it went to their junk), so we may need to add something to the forum thread itself for them to see it. Again, please hold off until Nim and I have a chance to talk about it and then we'll keep you all updated!...
  • Jerald Villarmino was just tagged in a comment: Hi Jerald and Jon - I had actually replied to Hina yesterday from the Conduct Admin account. @Jerald Villarmino I'm just seeing your email to them now. I did not receive a reply from Hina yesterday so I will wait to see if they email me back. ...
  • Jerald Villarmino was just tagged in a comment: Hey all, we just got this forum post today: https://gctlc.org/forum/chemistry-not-hard Nim and I are going to discuss it this afternoon. It's likely a violation of the code of conduct as it is (indirectly) advertising tutoring services through the GCTLC. @Jerald Villarmino just a note not to respond yet, but if you (or any of the moderators!) have any thoughts feel free to drop them here....
  • Jerald Villarmino was just tagged in a comment: Hi @Lucian Lucia, Looks like you've gotten some great suggestions from @Jerald Villarmino and @Saskia van Bergen is the go to expert for sure!  You mentioned lecture slides etc. as well, just wanted to make sure you were aware of the "Toxicology for Chemists Curriculum" resource that's available on the GCTLC here which includes slides etc. that could be useful for you: https://gctlc.org/toxicology-chemists-curriculum There are some other good resources in that collection too. The ACS GCI also has some modules on different topics framed in the context of green chemistry that might give you some ideas for developing the cirriculum: https://www.acs.org/green-chemistry-sustainability/education/learning-modules.html It would be great to see what you put together for the course, and perhaps in the future you'll consider sharing it here on the GCTLC for others!! Once the Groups feature becomes available this summer it could be a great way to connect with others interested in building a similar course all together?? All the best,John ...
  • Jerald Villarmino was just tagged in a comment: I'm eager to hear Nina's experiences. Integrating environmental justice into green chemistry teaching isn't just an option, I think should be the principled battle cry. In Thailand where it is evident that Pollution affects the daily lives of the ordinary man, it was logical for the country's leading university to establish the Green Chemistry and Sustainability program, which I am pursuing with @Jerald Villarmino and @Chester Deocaris. By being cognizant of how pollution disproportionately impacts marginalized communities, we empower students to become critical thinkers who can develop equitable and sustainable solutions. This is not just about science; it's about fostering a just and equitable society...

  • Jerald Villarmino was just tagged in a comment: @Jerald Villarmino thanks for your question here. Nim is correct here about the MSI term and its use within the USA higher educational system. For the Green Chemsitry Education Awards - please see below the reporting stepsWithin one month of hosting a grant-supported activity or event, you must report your impact using the Beyond Benign – Green Chemistry Events, Outreach and Activities Form.Utilize the Green Chemistry Teaching and Learning Community (GCTLC) online platform to share newly designed green chemistry curriculum materials and feedback from the monthly meetings and from students in the courses with the Chemistry Commitment (GCC) community online.When sharing your project publicly do include a sentence that says “project made possible by support from Beyond Benign and our logo”. Beyond Benign Partnership Materials are here....
  • Jerald Villarmino was just tagged in a comment: @Jerald Villarmino I love your reflection on this topic, and the examples you shared. As educators focus more on skill-building and learning versus ranking, as you described, more and more students will be able to see themselves as scientists, especially as the expanded assessment often offers opportunities for students to show examples of how their learning connects to the immediate world around them. It offers them ways to think of themselves as part of the solution to problems that may seem hopeless without that lens....
  • Jerald Villarmino was just tagged in a comment: Thank you, @Jerald Villarmino ! We ended up replacing our DCM with EtOAc, which works okay, but I think a new lab would be better. I will definitely check this one out!Take care,Jenn ...
