This is an integrated course that explores topics related to green chemistry and chemical effects in the natural environment. Chemistry topics include atomic, molecular, ionic, and radical structures, stoichiometry, equilibrium, sustainability, and green chemistry principles. Environmental topics include the sources, reactions, transport, effects, and fates of chemical species in the soil, water, and air. These two areas are woven together in daily work and larger projects.DELIVERED BY:NAME: PROF. MOHAMMED ABDUL KABIRPHONE: +13365494850EMAIL: mohammedak@yahoo.com

The Diaspora BRIDGE Initiative of the Federal Ministry of Education aims to strengthen Nigerian academia through structured engagement with global experts, particularly members of the Nigerian diaspora. This proposed DERIACD is designed to translate this vision into practical academic transformation across Nigerian/African universities and research institutes.The programme will provide targeted capacity development in research excellence, innovation systems, modern teaching methodologies, and industry collaboration frameworks. It will also establish sustainable pathways for knowledge transfer, joint research, funding access, and global academic networking.By leveraging diaspora expertise, the initiative seeks to close critical gaps in learning and research, enhance institutional competitiveness, and position Nigerian universities for improved global ranking and impact.NB: This will be specifically for UKRI, Horizon Europe, NIHR, Royal Society, Wellcome Trust, or African research funding audiences!!The idea is to translate innovative research ideas into fundable projects with societal, industrial, and policy impact.

Neuroanatomy is the branch of anatomy that studies the structure and organization of the nervous system, including the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves. It examines how different neural structures are connected and how their organization supports sensory, motor, cognitive, and autonomic functions.Neuroscience is the broader scientific field that investigates the nervous system's structure, function, development, physiology, and disorders. It integrates disciplines such as biology, medicine, psychology, chemistry, and computer science to understand how the nervous system controls behavior, cognition, and bodily functions, and to develop treatments for neurological and psychiatric conditions.
