Sustainability, the Great Lakes, and Chemistry for the Future

YCC Luncheon on Thursday, June 22 @ 12-1:30 pm
Past-Present-Future Clean up Efforts for the Great Lakes: polluting the water through our industrial past, monitoring and managing various water quality parameters, and positive outcomes for people and wildlife in the Central Region
Lunch is $45, you do not need to be a member of YCC to attend. Detroit LS long running science café series, called Brewing Chemistry, invites passionate people to speak monthly at various locations (or virtually) to educate both members and non-members and chemists and non-chemists, to show that science is fun and accessible to all. That chemistry is brewing all around us. One of our recent and well-attended topics was by Erin Parker. We are excited that she will return to us to present along CERM's theme to a larger audience.
