Bailey lab receives platinum status for sustainability!

The Bailey lab was recently awarded the Platinum Certification for Sustainable Laboratories through the Office of Campus Sustainability. Platinum is the highest status a lab can achieve, and requires taking significant actions to reduce the lab’s environmental impact. Some of the measures our lab has taken include recycling empty pipette tip boxes and racks, recycling clear rigid plastics through the Polycarbin recycling service, and participating in the Chemistry Department’s 2024 Freezer Challenge. We recently celebrated our efforts with other labs in the department with an ice cream social, with reusable spoons of course!
