Nanofabulous Seminar: Mainstreaming Lab Sustainability – MCN’s Actions, Global Relevance, Shared Responsibility
Scientific research is resource‑intensive, but it doesn’t have to be wasteful. At the Melbourne Centre for Nanofabrication (MCN), we are embedding sustainable lab practices into everyday operations. In this seminar, Dr Tatiana Pinedo Rivera will share how MCN is leading by example—raising awareness, rethinking workflows, reducing single‑use materials, and fostering a culture of care. These efforts are part of a growing global movement to reimagine how science is conducted in the face of the climate and environmental crisis. The session will explore how individual actions, when supported by strong institutional leadership, can spark meaningful and lasting change. Participants will gain practical insight into sustainability principles, implementation strategies and ways to bring these ideas back to their own labs—helping to build a more responsible, resilient research culture.
