I2SL Student Showcase for Sustainable Laboratories

I2SL’s Circular Economy for Labs Community of Practice (CoP) hosted a showcase for students to

demonstrate the work they are doing to promote sustainable laboratory practices or processes at campuses,

companies, and other organizations.

 

Over a dozen students gave brief, virtual talks during a special CoP showcase over Zoom on

April 17. Each student presented for five to seven minutes on the work they are doing, either through

an internship or as a job, to make laboratories more energy-efficient, resource-efficient, or

environmentally sustainable.​​ The winner, Rachel Porter, a PhD student at Stanford University,

will give a talk on decarbonizing process steam at Stanford during the I2SL Annual Conference

in Boston September 14.​
