That was fun.

A helpless audience of GS199 students were subjected to 50 minutes of joy-filled rambling by me today, on the subject of Green Chemistry. Oooh I had fun! I hope that they did, too. It was an interesting experience, explaining this to a general audience. I appreciated their interest. It is a very fun story to tell, optimistic and varied and full of good characters.

Featured tales of Green Chemistry successes were the ibuprofen synthesis, TAML oxidant activators, and Non-fluorous, highly CO2-soluble materials.

Links are to the EPA summaries of the projects.

Now it's time to get out and enjoy the weekend.
