Description
In an era where scientific advancements are crucial for addressing global challenges, the environmental impact of scientific research itself often goes unnoticed. Laboratories worldwide generate significant amounts of plastic waste, non-renewable resources such as helium gas are rapidly consumed, and vast amounts of energy are expended in our efforts to make the world a better place. Mitigation strategies are known, but it is often difficult to convince people working in the science industry that it is worth their time to do their part to address the climate crisis.
This workshop explores a unique intersection of art and science as well as its power to raise awareness and inspire actionable change. Attendees will not only learn about the importance of art in promoting sustainable research but also have the chance to participate in the creation of a collaborative community art piece!
