\u201cEvery year since 2015, C&EN has introduced readers to a dozen early-career scientists who use their chemistry know-how to make a real-world impact. This year\u2019s Talented 12 cohort embodies the same smarts, creativity, and grit. These scientists are advancing practical solutions for plastics recycling and sustainable agriculture. They are developing a deeper understanding of protein function, atmospheric aerosols, and the fate of persistent pollutants. And that\u2019s just a start.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr. Shira Joudan did her undergraduate studies at Carleton and worked with the Smith lab group. Joudan now leads a research group at the University of Alberta and studies persistent pollutants and harmful contaminants. Joudan is currently studying reactions involving trifuoroacetic acid (TFA), its origins and sources in the environment. She hopes her research can help guide policymakers as they design regulations for TFA.

Dr. Alison Bain also did her undergraduate studies at Carleton and worked with the Barry lab group. Bain is now an assistant professor at Oregan State University, where she studies the properties of single, nanometer-sized aerosol particles. Some of Bain\u2019s projects have included measuring aerosol surface tension, studying atmospheric microplastics, analyzing wood pulps with Raman spectroscopy and studying optical properties of diamond dust.

It is incredible that Canada has this prominence in this list right now, and even more impressive that Carleton had a hand in the careers of these two scientists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
