Smithsonian Fellowships

"The Smithsonian aims to advance solutions that fill us with optimism for our planet and all species that call our planet home through the Life on a Sustainable Planet initiative. The Smithsonian is offering three in-residence fellowship programs under this initiative: the Smithsonian Climate Change Postdoctoral Fellowship, the Smithsonian Environmental Justice Fellowship, and the Resilience and Sustainability Science Postdoctoral Fellowship. Each program will support a cohort of fellows for a period of two years.

Event Description

In partnership with Habitable we are thrilled to share this invitation to our undergraduate student-led webinar presentation on safer alternatives to hazardous chemicals found in building insulation. With the support of many partners and collaborators, these students spent the semester learning about green chemistry, hazard assessment, environmental justice impact, chemicals policy, and technical performance metrics in order to create products that are safer for humans and the environment. Come learn from them and celebrate their hard work this semester!

This webinar is free and open to anyone to join. Visit the following Zoom link at the date and time of the event to join: https://berkeley.zoom.us/j/93812801092
