There will also be an opportunity to see the exhibition after the talk.

Hi I can’t get there as I am in Sydney. In the 60s nylon was introduced- do you know where the name came from! Not allowed to look it up, I was a BBUS CPA and I took chemistry electives

Hi Edwina, it’s New York and London, isn’t it? Sorry you can’t make the talk, sometimes they’re online via zoom or recorded but this latest one (Mornington Peninsula library, August 16, 2025) is just in person.
all the best, Nicole
