Professional development on your terms, and your timeline.
Our higher education professional development is aimed at sharing best practices in integrating green chemistry in higher education programs, including developing resources for chemistry faculty and students to connect toxicology concepts to chemistry content in their courses and programs.
We share out these resources through our virtual programming in two webinar series: Green Chemistry Connections and the Greener Curriculum Showcase Series. Read more about these webinars, as well as frequently asked questions, below.
Green Chemistry Connections
From biomimicry to toxicology, green chemistry offers powerful solutions to some of the world’s most pressing crises. This year, we want to zero-in on the powerfully adaptable principles of green chemistry, and their role in forming connections between educators, industry, and advocates.

Toxicology for Chemists
We facilitate workshops at national chemistry and chemistry education conferences and develop curriculum resources that are aimed at providing chemistry faculty with:
- Understanding in the principles of toxicology, the molecular mechanisms of how chemicals affect human health and the environment, and the resources to identify and assess molecular hazards
- Opportunities to learn from and interact with their peers who are integrating toxicology concepts into chemistry courses and programs
"I am very unfamiliar with toxicology and followed all presentations. I thought it was presented at a very appropriate level."
