We're a global community accelerating the design and discovery of wide range of new materials, from renewable energy to drugs. Led by @A_Aspuru_Guzik @UofT.
University of Toronto
Joined March 2021
We visited Chemical Valley in Sarnia, ON, to learn about the impact of petrochemical production on Indigenous lands. Led by Aamjiwnaang community members Vanessa Gray + Beze Gray, the tour emphasized the need for ethical, community-informed research: https://t.co/aytxjDcnXh
