Kevin De France (@KJDeFrance) will lead a $3.2 million project on the use of canola meal as a material feedstock. "As an industry, we don’t really use canola meal at all. This project will change that.” https://t.co/ayJU0jw25L

It’s true! We’ve got an excellent team and we’re excited to see how we can improve the sustainability of the Canadian canola industry. Stay tuned for research updates, open positions, and more! 🌾🌾✨🧪🧪
#QueensU researcher @KJDeFrance is exploring the possibility of turning #canola meal into #bioplastics. With $3M in support from NSERC, SSHRC & @AAFC_Canada, his team plans to harness the untapped potential of the byproduct of Canada's highest earning crop | #QueensuResearch ➡️

A new semester means a new cohort of amazing CHEE229 Chemical Engineering @QuCHEE students! Although this is a microbiology course, today I led a workshop on giving and receiving feedback (and building marble runs!). Reimagining engineering education in practice! @SmithEngQueens
