SUMMARY:ACS GCEC: Linking Chemical Design to Toxicity/Hazard/Alternatives Assessment
DESCRIPTION:Join Executive Director\, Amy Cannon\, along with partners Saskia van Bergen (WA State Dept of Ecology) and Dalila Kovacs (Grand Valley State University) at a session on Linking Chemical Design to Toxicity/Hazard/Alternatives Assessment at the ACS Green Chemistry & Engineering Conference in Reston\, VA. Register for the conference. \nAccess the Conference Program here. \nSymposium description: \nToxicology concepts are essential in designing safe chemical products that have reduced hazards. There are many efforts to provide chemical designers with tools for understanding and predicting toxicity\, while maintaining the function and efficacy for which the product was designed. Toxicology data enables scientists to better predict hazards at the molecular level\, therefore avoiding the use and generation of hazardous chemicals. These tools and strategies are being developed and implemented in industry and academia. \nToxicology concepts and principles\, including investigative or predictive methods\, have traditionally been absent from the chemistry curriculum. As a result\, professional chemists lack skills in designing chemical products with inherently reduced hazards. These knowledge and skill gaps are being addressed in educational programs both in industry and in academia with the goal of better preparing scientists to implement safer design strategies at the research stage of a product life-cycle. \nThis half day session will highlight systematic approaches toward addressing safety data gaps\, understanding hazard and alternatives assessments\, and predicting toxicological endpoints through molecular design\, and will focus on education initiatives both in universities and within industry\, via professional development programs.

SUMMARY:Greening the Chemistry Research and Teaching Labs: Resources to Increase Safety and Reduce Waste
DESCRIPTION:Join Dr. Amy Cannon from Beyond Benign and Dr. Jane Wissinger from the University of Minnesota at the annual Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education (AASHE) conference in Pittsburgh\, PA. \nDescription: \nUniversity and college campuses across the United States are pushing the envelope on greening their campus facilities\, operations\, and processes. However\, despite their disproportionate consumption of resources\, laboratories are often excluded from sustainability programs. Bringing sustainable practices into the chemistry research and teaching laboratories can have a significant impact on increasing safety\, conserving energy\, reducing waste and hazardous chemical usage\, amongst other tangible benefits. \nThis presentation will provide attendees with resources that can be readily implemented within the chemistry research and teaching laboratories\, spanning from conservation approaches to greener alternative substitutions. Green chemistry in practice has proven to provide a safer working environment for researchers and students\, while maintaining a high level of rigor for teaching and excellence in research. In this session\, participants will connect safety and ethics issues directly to real-world applications of safer chemical approaches in the laboratory. Examples will be presented from universities who are actively implementing safer\, greener laboratory practices across research and teaching divisions. \n

SUMMARY:Green Chemistry Student Chapters: Stories of Success at ACS NOLA 2018
DESCRIPTION:Join Beyond Benign and the ACS Green Chemistry Institute to celebrate model green chemistry student chapters at the ACS National Meeting in New Orleans\, LA. \nThe Green Chemistry Award has quickly become one of the most sought after accolades for student chapters. To be eligible for green chemistry status\, chapters must engage in at least three green chemistry activities per year\, ranging from community outreach activities to hosting invited speakers. This symposium will provide a platform for student chapters who have been awarded green chemistry status to share their unique strategies and stories. Through peer to peer student conversations\, more student chapters may be inspired and empowered to achieve green chemistry status.
