January 2024: Do you like being among the first?
How would elephants spread the word about sustainable lab products? They probably would use infrasound to communicate the remarkable optical properties of the world’s first 96-well plate to their peers up to 10 km away. While that sounds intriguing, we recognize the need for a broader reach to let more people know how they can make labs greener.
