- Saskia van Bergen 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 ...
