How going green can raise cash for your lab

​

This article highlights many outcomes from 2017's Freezer Challenge, including this perspective on increasing grant application proposals; "Ramirez-Aguilar argues that implementing energy-efficient and environmentally sustainable lab practices can be a smart way for researchers to make their grants stand out. It might seem a small detail, but having such procedures in place could make all the difference to the success of your application. 'If it makes your proposal look better,' she says, 'you're more likely to get funding.'" Additionally, "as well as benefiting from campus-wide initiatives, scientists can take individual action that will simultaneously save money, the environment, and the integrity of their research."
