To help create a greener and cleaner world, Queen’s chemistry professor Gregory Jerkiewicz is reaching out globally.

If we could wean our cars, buses, and trucks off of fossil fuels, it would go a long way in making our cities cleaner and healthier, and in reducing the greenhouse gases pumped into the atmosphere (road transportation accounts for close to 20% of all CO₂ emissions worldwide).

Whether she’s working in the classroom or on the other side of the world, Dr. Cathy Crudden’s chemistry creates all sorts of connections.

I’m a bit early for my meeting with Dr. Cathy Crudden, so when I arrive at her office she’s in the middle of discussing a current research project with one of her students. Crudden invites me in anyway and it’s immediately obvious that working with students is a huge job perk for her.
