Quote graphic from Beyond Benign with the organization’s logo at the top and a portrait of Dr. Amy Cannon centered above a large yellow quote box. The quote reads: “Chemistry is essential. It makes up the molecular building blocks of the products that we use every day. It’s all around us and part of us. We need to ensure that chemists are trained to create those building blocks sustainably...We can do chemistry better and smarter, but only as long as we're given the tools and the training to do so.” Text below identifies her as “Dr. Amy Cannon, Co-Founder & Executive Director, Beyond Benign.” The design uses a dark blue and teal background with blue quotation marks.
