In this special episode of the podcast, we have invited Martin Farley -- AKA GreenLabGuy from Twitter -- to speak about the LEAF certification program for public research institutions. Martin works as a Sustainable Labs Adviser at University College London and a Sustainable Research Manager at Kings College London, and he is the main driver behind LEAF.
What is LEAF and what is it like to take part in the LEAF program at an institution? What can you do to get your workplace to implement green lab schemes like LEAF? And what did Martin first google when he had a little career crisis before embarking on the green lab journey!?
Join us on our mission towards more sustainable research as we discuss obstacles and solutions, talk to other caring scientists, and try to figure out how to make scientific research more sustainable. One thing is certain: Mission Sustainable isn't a Mission Impossible!
Your hosts are:
Adriana Wolf Perez, Ph.D., working as a scientist in a biomedical start-up company in Cambridge, UK
Nikoline Borgermann, Ph.D., working as an independent green lab consultant at Ava Sustain in Copenhagen, Denmark
... and both are passionate about the planet and people! Reach out if you have questions or comments! [email protected]
