The American Chemical Society recently published a post on their Nexus Blog that was written by UO student Amanda Kibbel, a Materials and Products major. In her post, Amanda describes the insights she gained into the relationship between chemistry, product design, and environmental impacts while taking CH 114 Green Product Design, taught by UO Chemistry and Biochemistry faculty Julie Haack. 

The chemistry course, designed and taught by Dr. Haack, is geared toward non-science majors and introduces students to the process of scientific reasoning by studying the central role chemists play in developing the chemicals and materials used in consumer products. The course content focuses on the use of green chemistry and life cycle thinking to design greener consumer products.
