I also agree that there were a lot of great questions from community members here, I enjoyed all the different perspectives that were brought into the discussion! I am so glad you enjoyed being the AMA this month! You were fantastic!!! Thank you again for participating in this initiative and sharing your wealth of knowledge, perspectives and experiences!...
- Elizabeth Braun was just tagged in a comment: Join @Elizabeth Braun here for an exclusive “Ask Me Anything” interview - with you as the interviewers! From January 27th to 30th, post your questions here about all things related to building strong safety culture, advancing green chemistry, and supporting systems-level change in K–12 and higher education. Dr. Elizabeth Braun is the Director of Educational Content and Learning at the Lab Safety Institute where she collaborates with educators, administrators, and district leaders to strengthen safety culture and promote green chemistry across STEM classrooms. Dr. Braun focuses on systems-level improvement—supporting schools as they rethink chemical management, instructional practices, and professional learning to align safety and sustainability. Her work bridges policy, pedagogy, and practice to make safer science accessible to every learning environment. Welcome Elizabeth and we look forward to your answers to the questions below! :)This AMA Q&A is over and this thread is now closed. It will still remain here so you can all view the conversations and resources. Thank you to everyone for participating!...

She is the Director of Educational Content and Learning at the Lab Safety Institute. At the Lab Safety Institute, Elizabeth collaborates with educators, administrators, and district leaders to strengthen safety culture and promote green chemistry across STEM classrooms. She focuses on systems-level improvement—supporting schools as they rethink chemical management, instructional practices, and professional learning to align safety and sustainability. Her work bridges policy, pedagogy, and practice to make safer science accessible to every learning environment. There is so much to learn from her wealth of knowledge and experience!Considering this is a group of educators and scientists interested in toxicology which heavily overlaps with the goals of making safer science, perhaps there are a few questions you might like to ask @Elizabeth Braun in the ask me anything forum starting tomorrow!

- Elizabeth Braun was just tagged in a comment: I definitely recommend attending the Safety Science Summit, if it comes to your city/state! @Elizabeth Braun gave an awesomeweek long presentations when she came to Boston. I was surrounded by colleagues and teachers from all over the state interested in laboratory safety and looking into solutions that can be used effectively in schools, just like I was. I wrote a proposal to bring @Elizabeth Braun to Billerica, to give a workshop to the district (I hope it materializes). I became a member of the Laboratory Safety Institute, which gave me access to an infinite pool of resources to keep me up to date on laboratory safety practices. My colleagues at BMHS also acquired a membership to take advantage of the professional development opportunities offered. Going through all the lessons at the Summit affirmed many of the decisions we made at the chemistry section at our school regarding the stockroom, and waste disposal. Opened my eyes to the extent of my responsibilities and liabilities regarding laboratory safety. It also made me aware of the importance of changing the culture around safety in our classrooms, beyond the chemistry lab....
