Ep 2: Standing on the Shoulders of Green Giants
Join Dan & Elsa as they each tell the story of a chemist that has notably contributed to the science of green chemistry, even if that's not what they intended to do when they started their careers! In this episode the pair dive into the lives of Percy Julian, a pioneer in the chemical synthesis of medicinal drugs from plants, and Claude Grison, winner of the European Inventor Award 2022 for her work on using plants to extract metal elements from polluted soil. Then, put your listening skills to the test with our Green Chemistry Icon recap quizzes!
