SUMMARY:New York Professional Learning Team Meet-up
DESCRIPTION:Join us for monthly meet-ups from 5pm – 6pm ET to collaborate with peers in the creation of NYSSLS Aligned Green Chemistry Labs\, videos of implementing labs\, and lesson plans spotlighting NY Industries practicing green chemistry! We will feature guest speakers who are leaders in sustainable science bimonthly. Most importantly\, together we will share lessons and labs as we work together to add sustainability into our sciences. \nFrom ocean plastic to forest fires\, our world needs invention\, innovation and creativity to find solutions to our biggest problems. Green chemistry\, also known as the science of solutions\, offers a framework for decreasing hazards within classrooms while promoting sustainability for both human health and the environment. \nWhether you are new to thinking about sustainability in the classroom\, or have already implemented green chemistry lesson plans\, we want you to join us. Together\, we will create a community of Green Chemistry educators within the state of NY. This PLT is for teachers in grades 6-12. \nRegistration link: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScGsyx4D0pDnoieDjfzQGwIJAIToFfSEthSRNp3rgbmVOuEwA/viewform \nNY Site: https://sites.google.com/beyondbenign.org/green-chemistry-in-new-york/ \nAfter registering\, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting. \nSeries Dates: Sept 13\, 2021; Nov 1\, 2021; Dec 6\, 2021; Jan 10\, 2022; Feb 7\, 2022; Mar 7\, 2022; April 4\, 2022; May 2\, 2022; June 6\, 2022;

SUMMARY:Toxicology for Chemists: Integrating Toxicology Principles into Higher Education Chemistry Courses
DESCRIPTION:Register for this event here! \n“A current key sustainability challenge is that scientists are not trained how to address hazards when designing chemical products. Specifically\, chemists lack training in toxicology: what makes a molecule hazardous to human health and the environment?” \nTo discuss these and other questions\, join our Higher Education Program Manager Dr. Nimrat Obhi on February 18th @ 2:00 PM (ET) during her presentation at the Two Year College Chemistry Consortium (2YC3)\, where Nim will provide an overview of our Toxicology for Chemists curriculum. This has curriculum has been developed by a group of key experts and contains lectures\, supplementary material\, and additional resources to allow educators and current and future scientists to understand and practice chemistry that is safe and responsible for society. In this talk\, Nim will show us how the course modules can be used\, and the support that Beyond Benign can provide to educators who want to implement elements into their courses.
