Chemical Society Seminar: Ive Hermans- The Role of Heterogeneous Catalysis in the Defossilization of the Chemical Industry
In this talk I will elaborate on strategies to decouple the chemical industry from traditional fossil fuels to reduce the emission of greenhouse gasses as well as to improve carbon circularity. I will showcase the discovery of new catalytic systems, illustrating how “luck favors the prepared”, and how the right tools allow us to establish molecular design principles to improve promising systems.

Chemical Society Seminar:Philippe Dauphin Ducharme- Nucleic Acids Electrochemical Biosensors for Point-of-care Measurements
Our research team is interested in understanding biomolecule-electrode interfaces for measuring concentrations of target molecules in complex matrices (whole blood, saliva, etc.). Measuring insulin and glucose in a closed-loop fashion, for example, could diminish the incidence of low-glycemic events. Bedside monitoring of narrow therapeutic drugs like vancomycin or associated biomarkers can likewise allow for efficient intervention and deaths prevention.
MSSI Collective Meet-up
The monthly meetup for McGill grad students and postdoctoral sustainability researchers. Whether you're working directly in sustainability research or simply interested in it, join us to network and learn about what your colleagues are working on.
This event takes place the 3rd Tuesday of every month from 1-2 pm.
2nd Annual Biodiversity Festival - Intro to Forest Bathing: Walk on Mount Royal
For McGill students.
Join guide Jacky Farrell (McGill Science Outreach), for a Shinrin Yoku (Forest Bathing) walk on Mount Royal. Forest Bathing helps us slow down, open our senses and follow our curiosities. What a great way to take a nourishing break and celebrate McGill’s Biodiversity Festival!

Chemical Society Seminar: Robert Godin- Deciphering Charge Carrier Dynamics in Carbon Nitride Photocatalysts for Improved Energy, Environmental, and Synthetic Applications
Polymeric photocatalysts made of Earth-abundant elements have been extensively developed over the past decade to take advantage of their synthetic tunability.1 Within this family, carbon nitrides (CNx) are emerging as leading photocatalysts because of their high photocatalytic performance combined with good stability and facile synthesis.2 However, significant gaps remain in our knowledge of the photophysical properties of these organic pol

Family Science Day: Small Habitats - Exploring the Nature Around Us
Have you ever wondered what could be living in a little patch of grass, or a small garden? Join STEMM Diversity @ McGill for an exciting hour exploring the green spaces on McGill campus! We don’t tend to think of cities as places where lots of plants and animals live, but even small habitats can be super important for many species.
