The discussion starts at 7 p.m., March 9, in the bar at Mavor鈥檚 in the Confederation Centre of the Arts. Dr. Michael Shaver is an assistant professor of chemistry with a focus on 鈥済reen鈥� chemistry. His lab is developing biodegradable, plant-based polymers to replace conventional plastic. 鈥淭here are bad plastics out there,鈥� argues Shaver. 鈥淏ut the benefits of using plastic鈥攖he right plastics鈥攃an鈥檛 be ignored.鈥� Shaver will also help dispel misconceptions people have about his chosen profession. 鈥淐hemists take their name from 鈥榓lchemy,鈥� so we鈥檙e partially to blame,鈥� says Shaver. 鈥淧eople consider chemistry to be a mysterious black art.
