We're currently at the Love Tomorrow at Tomorrowland listening to ecologist Nadina Galle talk about how her childhood in Canada inspired her love of the environment.

Challenge: Where can you consider putting in a "pocket park" or a small "facade garden"?

#GreenLab Pro-Tip:
Don’t throw away your old or broken lab equipment. Donate it to schools or other research groups who need it. #sustainablescience #donate 💡

This week's #SustainableTipTuesday is about computation - did you know there is a version of AlphaFold that uses 95% less energy than the regular version? Take a look below💡 #greenlabs
Inspired by Wallner's AFsample approach, @busrasavas.bsky.social's MinnieFold produced good quality antibody-antigen models even with 95% reduced sampling over CAPRI55 targets.

Just accepted in Proteins!

#GreenLab Pro-Tip:
How to reduce your plastic waste in the lab: buy liquid media in bulk and recycle your PET cell culture bottles. #GreenLabs #SustainableScience 🌎♻️

#GreenLab Pro-Tip:
Did you know that you can recycle your pipette tips, plastics and gloves in the lab? Check out awesome solutions from LabCycle and Terracycle

#GreenLab Pro-Tip:
Don’t be a drip, refill your tips. Reuse your pipette tip boxes and fill them with bulk tips. #sustainablescience #pipettetips

#GreenLab Pro-Tip:
Plastic doesn't mean single use! You can save money and resources washing, (even sometimes autoclaving), and reusing your plasticware. ♻️ #reuse
March 12, 2025 at 8:14 AM
#GreenLab Pro-Tip:
Sometimes, plastic is unavoidable in the lab. But you can still minimize its impact by choosing the smallest option available. Smaller pipets, tubes, and containers mean less waste. 🗑️ #sustainableresearch

#GreenLab Pro-Tip:
Spreading E. coli on agar plates is a common technique, but it doesn’t have to involve plastic. Use glass or metal spreaders instead - they are easy to sterilize and reuse. 🔥 #spreadthelove

#GreenLab Pro-Tip:
Petri dishes are great for growing cultures, but they are also a source of plastic waste. Try using glass ones instead - they are reusable, sterilizable, and better for the environment. 🌱#GreenChemistry

Interesting article highlighting strategies to reduce your labs carbon footprint.

The strategies outlined require collaborative action at all levels, and are projected to reduce the carbon footprint of three labs by 50%.

Science Has a Sustainability Problem: How Can We Make Labs Greener?
Science has a sustainability problem- a lab uses up to 10x more energy and academic labs generated 12 billion pounds of plastic waste last year.
