Ricaldo noted, “Attending the 9th IUPAC conference on Green Chemistry was an unforgettable experience. It gave me the opportunity to be exposed to cutting-edge research in the field, interact with scientists from all over the world and learn about a new culture. Representing my university on the international stage was also a privilege and has opened up new doors for my academic and professional career.”
