In the pursuit of knowledge and breakthroughs, scientists have long been at the forefront of innovation. However, as we strive for progress, it is crucial to pause and reflect upon the environmental impact of our scientific endeavors.

We don't just impact the environment through the millions of tons of plastic waste we produce with our tips, tubes and dishes; with the advent of high throughput approaches and the implementation of computational intensive methods, such as structure predictions or next generation sequencing, we also need significant amounts of resources every day.

How you many, you ask? We are about to find out! Join us to discover this, and also:

• Which sustainable alternatives and protocols do exist?
• How do you motivate others to join sustainable action?
