PA3 INVITES YOU TO “SECOND TUESDAYS”

A PRINCETON PROPELLER EVENT

ONLINE

FOR ENTREPRENEURS,

NAVIGATORS & THE CURIOUS

Please Join Us for Cocktails & Hors d’oeuvres

Wherever You Are

Speaker: Andrew Voros, CEO, PrevenTive Conservation, LLC
Topic:  Photocatalysis & Pandemics: Bringing to Light a New Approach

Photocatalytic oxidation is a light-driven process that dismantles organic molecules on treated surfaces. These include human respiratory hazards caused by combustion and those of biologic origin. While standard treatments of chlorine, peroxides and ammonia kill coronavirus on surfaces, the disinfection lasts only until the next person contaminates it. The CDC has recently determined that an optimized oxidizing agent effective on MRSA and other iatrogenic diseases is also effective on COVID-19.  Andrew will discuss these technologies, the science behind them, and the stabilized chlorine dioxide application that his company is making commercially available in the next 30–90 days. 

In keeping with pandemic-generated distancing protocols, PA3 and Quadrangle Club are pleased to bring you our first “online Propeller.” So, fasten your intellectual seat belts, pour a libation and toast to loved ones & learning --- even in the midst of perplexity. 

This video will be posted online as soon as available.  To ensure that you receive notice of that posting, please register here.  For information about Propellers generally, please visit propellers.princetonaaa.org.

March 29, 2020 - The PA3 and PWN of Princeton book clubs are joining forces to bring you a special discussion of Friendship: The Evolution, Biology, and Extraordinary Power of Life's Fundamental Bond with the book's author, Lydia Denworth '88 S87. The book, which was selected well before we found ourselves in the midst of a pandemic, takes on a new significance in this time of social distancing.

The discussion will take place via Zoom on Thursday, April 30 from 7:00-8:00 p.m.

If you would like to take part in this special author event, please email arlen@alumni.princeton.edu to request the Zoom link. In the spirit of friendship, you are welcome to invite a friend to join in the discussion; please just let us know so we'll have an idea of how many people to expect. 

To support a local retailer in these challenging times, participants are encouraged to purchase the book from Labyrinth Books in Princeton, which has generously agreed to extend a 10% discount and free shipping for this book if you order by phone (Tuesday-Saturday 11:00-4:00, 609-497-1600 x1). Labyrinth member discounts apply on both phone and online orders, as long as you use the email address associated with your membership.
