This morning, in #Padua @unipd.bsky.social, John Warner (@monashuniversity.bsky.social) shared some wisdom on #greenchemistry as the Foundation of #sustainability and the #circulareconomy - and with it, a memorable reminder that nature’s best innovations don’t come from endless meetings.

Right now, the students at the #padua Winter School on Green Chemical Synthesis @unipd.bsky.social are deep in the heart of Principle 9 — #catalysis, unlocking the power of efficient reactions for a sustainable future.
The quest for #sustainability continues...

The 12 Principles of #green #chemistry #padua...
It’s like the Lord of the Rings for chemists — with principles that keep the #environment safe, reactions efficient, and processes more eco-friendly than ever. Think of it as a fellowship of molecules, all working together for the greater good.

Cohort 24 have landed in Padua for the Winter School on Green Chemical Synthesis.
The chemistry lectures are fascinating, but so is the question: How many espressos does it take to keep a PhD student running? Early results suggest… a lot.
