A Montrealer and alumnus of our Chemistry Department at ºÚÁÏÍø±¬³Ô¹Ï, where he conducted his undergraduate and graduate studies, his work over decades was inspirational to many generations of chemists worldwide. A brilliant, most humble colleague that brought understanding to the most fundamental chemical reaction, the electron transfer, among many other systems he worked on. He will be greatly missed.</p> Tue, 11 Aug 2026 12:44:28 +0000 admin 1078778 at /science /science/channels/event/mcgill-chemical-society-seminar-series-jt-donald-lecture-stefan-w-hell-373697 Seminar Title: <p>Fluorescence microscopy: a minimum for maximal spatio-temporal resolution</p> <p> </p> Thu, 06 Aug 2026 14:56:48 +0000 admin 1078776 at /science /science/channels/event/event-mcgill-chemical-society-seminar-series-katherine-mirica-373698 Seminar Title: <p>Molecular Engineering of Conductive Framework Materials for Environmental Stewardship</p> <p> </p> Thu, 06 Aug 2026 15:00:10 +0000 admin 1078777 at /science /science/channels/event/mcgill-chemical-society-seminar-series-jt-donald-lecture-stefan-w-hell-373696 Seminar Title: <p>How to overcome a supposed scientific barrier ... and what to make of it</p> <p> </p> Thu, 06 Aug 2026 14:54:31 +0000 admin 1078775 at /science /science/channels/news/wilder-and-helen-penfield-research-station-hub-environmental-sciences-373683 <p>Tucked away on the peaceful shores of Lake Memphremagog, the Wilder and Helen Penfield Research Station blends a serene atmosphere with scientific discoveries.
