Since many biology labs are working at limited capacity due to COVID-19 , I wondered if any of the UV disinfection technologies used in the healthcare sector could improve safety and sustainability in biology workspaces. To consider any practical options, I dug up some recent studies and spoke with
Labconscious is an open resource for biologists to support sustainability and green lab initiatives to reduce the environmental footprint of bench science.
