Green Chemistry Editor’s Choice: Helen Sneddon Selects Outstanding Articles. Read now for free

Editorial Board Member Helen Sneddon has selected some outstanding research to share with you from Green Chemistry. Read them now for free until the end of January 2021!

Helen F. Sneddon studied Natural Sciences at Christ’s College, Cambridge, and obtained her PhD from the University of Cambridge under the supervision of Professor Steven V. Ley. Following postdoctoral studies at the University of California, Irvine, with Professor Larry Overman, she joined GSK in Stevenage, UK in 2007. While at GSK, she has developed a particular interest in Green Chemistry as applied to the Pharmaceutical Industry, including solvent and reagent selection, metrics, and the development of more efficient transformations. She is currently on the editorial board of the journal Green Chemistry and on the editorial advisory board of the journal ACS Sustainable Chemistry & Engineering. She is an author of over 50 peer-reviewed publications, a Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry, and a visiting professor of Sustainable Chemistry at the University of Nottingham.

Green Chemistry Editor’s Choice: Philip Jessop Selects Outstanding Articles. Read now for free

Board Chair Philip Jessop has selected some outstanding research to share with you from Green Chemistry. Read them now for free until the end of December 2020!

Dr. Philip Jessop, FRSC, is the Canada Research Chair of Green Chemistry at Queen’s University in Kingston, Canada and the Technical Director of GreenCentre Canada. As a professor at the University of California-Davis (1996-2003) and since then at Queen’s, he has studied green solvents and the chemistry of CO2 and H2. He invented the concept of switchable solvents and has developed many other CO2-switchable materials. Distinctions include the Eni Award for New Frontiers for Hydrocarbons (2013), Fellowship in the Royal Society of Canada (2013), the Canadian Green Chemistry & Engineering Award (2012), and the NSERC Polanyi Award (2008). He has chaired three international conferences and helped create GreenCentre Canada, a National Centre of Excellence for the commercialization of green chemistry technologies.
