Our certified Lead Teachers Cassandra Knutson and Cassidy Javner, together with Jane Wissinger from the University of Minnesota (one of our Green Chemistry Commitment Signing Institutions) have just published a chapter in the eBook Chemistry Education for a Sustainable Society Volume 1: High School, Outreach, & Global Perspectives, by ACS Symposium Series. In the chapter Designing Impactful Green and Sustainable Chemistry Workshops for High School Teachers, Cassandra, Cassidy, and Jane describe the design and implementation of a three-day workshop with the goals of training and supporting high school teachers to incorporate Green and Sustainable Chemistry into their classrooms.

We are all aware of the importance of implementing Green Chemistry and safety into our laboratory culture and practices, but where do we start? In our latest publication with Natalie O’Neil, Star Scott, Rachael Relph, and Ettigounder Ponnusamy at the Journal of Chemical Education, you can learn more about our Guide to Green Chemistry Experiment for Undergraduate Organic Laboratories and how this approach helps the Green Chemistry incorporation process. This publication and the guide were created in partnership with My Green Lab and Millipore Sigma. 
“The reason for wanting to work with Beyond Benign on the Green Chemistry Commitment was to critically analyze the program to see how we could increase participation and improve the signer experience. My experience with the Green Chemistry Initiative at the University of Toronto was instrumental in sparking my passion for Green Chemistry education and outreach. The GCI performed a department-wide audit of the Green Chemistry material offered in undergraduate courses. I wanted to expand these efforts to the greater chemistry community, and Beyond Benign was the perfect partnership to do so. 
Our Co-Founder and Executive Director Amy Cannon, our K-12 Education Director Kate Anderson, and our Green Chemistry Commitment Director Irv Levy, together with Amy Keirstead, Reuben Hudson, Jennifer MacKellar, Mollie Enright, and Elizabeth Howson have just published a paper in the Journal of Chemical Education.
The Co-Founder of Green Chemistry, Co-Founder of Beyond Benign and our Director of Science and Innovation John Warner had the pleasure to participate in The Bottom Line Podcast, organized by Harvard Ventures. In this podcast, John talks about his path to becoming an inventor and shares with us the influence of green chemistry in business, politics, innovation, and in our society, using his own deeper and different view of things.
