What would you do after retiring from a life long career in a field you loved? In April Blodgett’s case, she saw a way to give back by enabling science education and new avenues of research with her volunteer work as the “Pipetting Pigeon”. Read the interview: labconscious.com/blog/pipett…

Could you use some inspiring science news? This report is a fascinating overview on how the exploration of DNA in energy storage could improve electronics and batteries. "The concept of complementary base pairing in DNA is not only fundamental to molecular biology, but also has significant implications for electrochemistry, driving innovations in DNA-based electrochemical sensing, energy storage, and other electrochemical applications." Xiong Cheng, Joonho Bae. Next-generation DNA-enhanced electrochemical energy storage (Nov 2024) Current Applied Physics sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

We are grateful for all the biologists who drive greener laboratory practices and creative solutions for global environmental issues! Cheers from the Labconscious Team at @NEBiolabs
