🔹Zitting Sun our awardee of the NSERC / CRSNG CREATE CORRECT Program Corrosion Research and Training Experience, describes why corrosion scientists and engineers need to consider the responsible use of biofuels. Watch her video here:👇🏻 youtube.com/watch?v=uW6Cn2…


🔹 Idongesit Nwachukwu, a NSERC / CRSNG CREATE CORRECT Program Corrosion Research and Training Experience awardee, explains why engineers and corrosion engineers need to apply sustainable practices when working with wind energy. See her video here:👇🏻 youtu.be/XjY26jgCGLM


🔹 Emily Seto, who received an NSERC / CRSNG CREATE CORRECT Program Corrosion Research and Training Experience Award, digs into why we need corrosion engineers and scientists to generate energy from our waste. For more insights, watch her full video here:👇🏻 youtu.be/x8gvAEjlKvs


🔹Haofei Sun, an NSERC / CRSNG CREATE CORRECT Program Corrosion Research and Training Experience awardee from the University of Alberta, highlights the societal impacts caused by corrosion failures in waste-to-energy facilities. Watch his full video here:👇🏻 youtu.be/pAp4fg0SR8o


🔹Alexander Gross, one of our NSERC / CRSNG CREATE CORRECT Program awardees at the University of Alberta, highlights the significant effect that corrosion plays in pipeline failures and the resulting societal impacts. For more information watch his video here:👇🏻 youtu.be/oN3RSDPMOaE


🔹Victor Udo-Okoro, a NSERC / CRSNG CREATE CORRECT Program awardee from Queen's University, shows the many societal consequences if corrosion is not correctly managed in the oil and gas sector in Nigeria. Watch his video here:👇🏻 youtu.be/5cggXM-ljdE


Last week, CREATE CORRECT Program and the Chemistry Department hosted an outreach event for 12th-grade high school students at Western University. Throughout the sessions, we demonstrated engaging electrochemistry experiments to spark their curiosity and raise awareness about this field.



#MediaRelease: Researchers from Western Science Chemistry at Western used the CLS to study how the size of #gold #nanoparticles impacts their effectiveness in medical applications such as #CancerTreatment, drug delivery, and #DiagnosticImaging. bit.ly/4jvmRzT

📸 A few highlights from today’s Science Rendezvous at Western University ! It was a fantastic day of sharing science with the community and inspiring the next generation of scientists. We were thrilled to see such great energy and engagement from visitors of all ages.


First day of NSERC / CRSNG CREATE CORRECT Program summer school at Western University included - getting to know each other - an equity, diversity and inclusion session with a focus on international students - phase diagrams and - Tafel analysis! Tomorrow, we'll start the hybrid part with Europe!

WATCH: With use of the CanadianLightSource , researchers from Western University are optimizing gold nanoparticles for better medical imaging, drug delivery, and cancer therapy. Western University Chemistry Professor Yolanda Hedberg joined our Brenden Purdy with more. globalnews.ca/video/11231046…

Europe-Canadian NSERC / CRSNG CREATE CORRECT Program and EFC summer school day 2: - career development - corrosion in nuclear power plants - ethical, political, and corrosion aspects of long-term storage plans in different countries - many hands-on workshops!

Canadian-European NSERC / CRSNG CREATE CORRECT Program summer school day 3: - Biomedical materials and implants - Oil and gas industry - Ethical aspects when working in corrosion - (Mining) industry case studies - Graphic design workshop - Western University's implant retrieval lab

Canadian-European NSERC / CRSNG CREATE CORRECT Program and EFC summer school day 4: - synchrotron and neutron-based techniques - corrosion and cultural heritage - corrosion in Niagara falls power station - Niagara falls! - health aspects of corrosion, joint with Laurentian SETAC
