As well, she was contacted by the editor of Canadian Chemical News (ACCN) and informed that her chemistry outreach program (that was the basis for her second presentation) “Harry Potter-Science and Magic” will be included in the July/August issue.
Professor and CRC Professor Tomas Hudlicky gave the R.U. Lemieux Award Lecture titled “Recent Advances in Process Development for Opiate-derived Pharmaceutical Agents and Progress in Total Synthesis of Morphine.
