Previous ChipChat Green Chemistry Discussions
In the past, GreenChem UBC has run ChipChats – a bimonthly meetup where we chat about green chemistry (recently published papers, publications and news) while eating chips – don’t worry, we have more healthy, green food as well! Currently we are not running these meetings, but links to previous discussions can be found below for anyone interested.
