Our third visiting speaker, Dr. Michael Kerr, talked about natural products.

1. Natural products are chemical compounds produced by living organisms.

2. One reason for making natural products in the chemical laboratory is because the original source may be in short supply or endangered.

Our second visiting speaker, Dr. Mehran Behazin, talked about Canada's Nuclear

Waste Management Organization (NWMO). A key responsibility of that organization is

Developing technologies for the safe long-term storage of nuclear waste.

Our first visiting speaker, Dr. Tim Clark, came from GreenCentre, Canada. Which

His role at GreenCentre is to assist with the commercialization of scientific discoveries and technologies.

Dr. Tim Clark gave a brief presentation on an example of the work performed at

GreenCentre Canada. What is the best example of “green chemistry”?

Improving a chemical process to make it more environmentally sustainable

Dr. Tim Clark from GreenCentre Canada highlighted one of the products that

they had helped commercialize: a windshield coating that was developed in

Waterloo. The company that developed and is selling this coating was started

by university students

Based on the presentation by Dr. Jeff Binns from the Nuclear Waste

Management Organization, Each year, the average household uses an amount of nuclear fuel equivalent to about the size of 3 “AA” batteries.
