instead of what you can’t do, #greenchemistry is about what you can/should do. drive innovation & tap creativity. @YaleGCGE #Ecochem
-
@DowChemical thanks- it was a great dialogue and energetic group at #ecochem
-
Paul Anastas- integrating systems thinking into innovation & basic research #Ecochem #Ecochemex @YaleGCGE
