Rethinking Chemistry: Discovering New Ways to Make Everyday Chemicals More Sustainably

[All talks are free to attend.] From medicines and agricultural products to dyes, plastics, and advanced materials, chemistry plays an essential role in our everyday lives. But making these products often requires many steps, large amounts of energy and resources, and processes that generate significant waste. How can we make the things we need while using fewer resources and creating less waste? For more than three decades, our research has focused on developing new ways of doing chemistry—disc
