Our speakers will be Dr. Atefeh Taheri and Cody Carr of UC Davis. Both work with Dr. Louise Berben in the Chemistry department, where they study the conversion of carbon dioxide (primary greenhouse gas) into useful chemical and fuels and also the production of hydrogen gas which can be used as clean fuel. They will also address the ways that research and public decisions can impact climate change, affecting the future of our environment and planet.
