Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry Tours BASF Regina
These are two photos from a Nov. 20, 2023 class trip to BASF Regina, organized by Prof. Stephen Cheng for his Industrial Chemistry class. BASF Regina makes blends of agricultural products for Saskatchewan farmers, particularly herbicides for canola crops. Several professors, instructors, and additional students tagged along for the fun trip. The 2 hour tour of their facilities was broken into two groups, led by two BASF employees (Greg and Nicole, photographed with Prof. Allan East) who graduated from our Chemistry and Biochemistry department roughly 10 and 15 years ago, respectively.
