Adventures in Plastic World: Learning Through Doing

Pat McClellan Green was a visionary. In the 1990s Pat introduced me to endocrine disruptors, nanoparticles, plastics including tire components and pollution writ large. That started an experiential journey that took my interests in chemical ecology, chemical sensing, "non-toxic fouling management" and informing policy makers to often uncomfortable places. I like to say, I know just enough to be dangerous and it helps to not recognize disciplinary boundaries. I would love to extend Pat's inspiration to making a difference. My talk will touch on topics that are ripe for future study. This seminar will be held in person in Grainger Hall room 1112 and online via Panopto.
