Wolf and Borgermann's podcast asks what scientists who work in a wet lab can do to reduce their environmental impact.
Laboratories are leaving behind a massive ecological footprint that isn’t exactly improving the state of our planet. But what can wet-lab scientists do to reduce their environmental impact?
