Sherine Obare is an environmental chemist whose research focuses on the detection and remediation of environmental contaminants as well as understanding the fate, transport and toxicity of anthropogenic nanomaterials. She serves as the Program Chair for the American Chemical Society's Division of
Environmental Chemistry and is also Chair-Elect for the Division (2020-2022). She has trained over 100 students in her laboratory and is the recipient of the 2009 IUPAC Young Observer Award, the NSF CAREER Award, and the NSF Division of Materials Research American Competitiveness and Innovation
(ACI) Fellowship. In 2013, Obare was named as one of the Top 25 Women Professors in Michigan. In 2019, she was elected as Fellow of the American Chemical Society. The Triad Business Journal recognized Obare as a Triad Power Player in 2019 and as an Outstanding Women in Business in 2020.

Catherine H. Middlecamp has devoted 40 years to teaching and learning chemistry in the context of real-world issues. At the University of Wisconsin-Madison, she is a professor in the Nelson Institute for Environmental Studies and is the campus-wide Director for Sustainability Education and Research.
From 2007 to 2016, Middlecamp served as the Editor-in-Chief of Chemistry in Context, a college curriculum project of the American Chemical Society. She was elected chair of the ACS Division of Chemical Education (2015-2017) and was in the inaugural class of ACS Fellows (2009). In 2019, she was the
recipient of the George C. Pimentel Award in Chemical Education and earlier received two other national ACS awards as well.

Keith E. Peterman is Professor of Chemistry at York College of Pennsylvania. He serves as a member of the ACS Committee on Environmental Improvement. He has served as a Fulbright Scholar in Germany and in Russia, a National Academy of Sciences Research Scholar in Poland, as a Research Fellow at the
