Fume hoods can consume as much energy as 3.5 households. Remember to shut the sash and turn it off when not in use. Put a reminder sticker Understand the safety of your experiments and check to see if the air change rate can be lowered #GreenLab #SustainableScience

Vaccines, medicines, tissues, cells & other precious materials are stored in ULT freezers @ temperatures of <-70C. BUT what’s the difference between these models regarding energy, performance & sustainability? We’ve been testing the marketplace...#vaccines #sustainablecoldstorage

A few months ago we organized Radboudumc Freezer Challenge. Here's why, how much energy we saved, and of course... the winners! youtu.be/840XQPpCTSM Optimising your ULT freezer use is safe, and it will also reduce costs! If questions, just ask ;)

Research labs consume x10 more energy and x4 more water than offices and produce 5.5 tons of plastic waste annually. Join this panel discussion to hear from TCD scientists and what they do to fight the climate catastrophe. #TCDGreenWeek @TCDgreenlabs ow.ly/UDDl50DGMKk

The prospect of the near total obliteration of summer Arctic sea-ice before 2035 should really be focussing all our minds on achieving zero carbon emissions in the 2020s.

Ever feel you need a PhD in plastics to know what can and can't be recycled? If it doesn't have a recycling symbol - throw it away Even if it has 1 of the 7 symbols, you need to check with local recycling to see if they take it 🤔♻️😔 science.howstuffworks.com/en… Thanx @marcovce

Awesome talk on sustainable science from @GreenLabGuy, @MartaRodrgzMart + @embl! A few points: -Shut the sash of unused TC/ fume hoods! (SO easy and saves loads of energy) -Open freezers for the minimum time possible -Use your power as a consumer to demand lower impact products

We reuse our Qiagen columns (any kind) without compromising the yield and any carry over DNA contaminations by soaking the columns in 1M HCl overnight and washing the coumns with 5X distilled water (1 column volume each time). Saves money and plastics.
