Labconscious connects Biologists to Sustainability with green lab practices
About Us
Labconscious is an open resource to inform and connect researchers using green lab initiatives to reduce the environmental footprint of bench science that is fully supported by New England Biolabs.
We (are scientists and we) get it: in our common pursuit of advancing scientific knowledge, assays must be run, reagents consumed and biohazard bags filled. Many of our methods produce significant waste and high energy consumption. Simple changes in our lab practices can promote sustainability, without compromising results.
Our Mission
1. Raise awareness by sharing ideas, protocols, and best practices
2. Empower scientists to make changes at their bench, in their lab, and across their workspace
3. Inspire scientists to join the movement and teach others
