ResumoA chemist working at a product-testing company and six graduate students in molecular science fields died earlier this month when Ukraine International Airlines Flight 752 was shot down over Tehran, Iran. The plane was flying from Tehran to Kiev, Ukraine, and the seven chemists were traveling separately to Canada. All 176 passengers on board died in the accident. Fareed Arasteh, 32, was a first-year PhD candidate at Carleton University.
