Bren recently published, along with fellow younger chemists, an Angewandte Chemie Viewpoint Article entitled: “Towards a Sustainable Future: Challenges and Opportunities for Early-Career Chemists”1. This collaboration was a result of his active involvement with the International Younger Chemist Network (IYCN), where he also serves as a board member.
The article explored the challenges and opportunities for the current generation in working towards a sustainable future. The authors highlighted the importance of sustainable education, including a survey showing that the great majority of chemistry students want this included in their programs, effective outreach to society and policymakers, and the need for a positive research culture. In addition, they also emphasized promoting diversity and equity as well as better accessibility to science, especially in scientific publishing.
