Chris and Fran have just returned from their travels in Europe after attending the GRC on Green Chemistry (in Barga, Italy). This meeting was fantastic in terms of science, location, people……in fact it was probably one of the best conferences we have ever been to! Thank you to all who made it the event it was.
Fran gave a talk on the first morning entitled “Chemical transformations of aminocarbohydrates”, which prompted some good discussion and we’ve come away with lots of great new ideas. Chris and Fran also presented their posters over the course of the week, and got to meet some fantastic people.

Chris presents his poster in Toulouse
Chris, Fran and Justin attended this international conference during the past week. We saw lots of great talks and presented our posters alongside many other delegates……we also ate far too much good food and drank too much wine thanks to the generous hospitality of our hosts. Next time (July 2014) the conference is being held in Ottawa, Canada. The website for the next ISHC is found here.

Chris, Fran, Khaled and Nduka have been enjoying the science and Albertan hospitality at the CSC
Chris and Fran spoke in the metal-mediated polymerization symposium organized by Mike Shaver and Paul Hayes. Nduka presented his poster in the same symposium on Sunday evening and Khaled presented his poster in the Industrial division on Monday night.
Thanks to all the organizers and volunteers for a fantastic meeting.

Prof Art Ragauskas has been organizing an online poster celebration to celebrate Earth Day since 2010.
This year our group took part for the 1st time, as Khaled submitted a poster on his research surrounding the hydrolysis of chitosan. It is available here.
Thank you to Khaled for sharing his research with a wider audience and to all those involved in organizing this event.
