Today was the final presentation for our Mitacs intern, May! She worked in our Arsenic Project. It’s been a pleasure having her in our lab, and we wish her a safe return to Ibagué, Colombia.
May’s Final Research Update
Greener Approaches to Safe Drinking Water
We acknowledge with respect that our work takes place on the lands and waters of the Lekwungen peoples, and that our presence here impacts the Songhees, Esquimalt and WSÁNEĆ peoples whose historical relationships with the land continue to this day. We seek to use our research skills to address historical and ongoing environmental injustices and to empower communities in Canada and internationally through interventions at all stages of the drinking water supply chain. We apply a Green Engineering and Chemistry lens as one of many perspectives on these challenges and opportunities.
