2010
Offered in the fall each year, the Green Research Workshop provides UBC faculty, staff and students with information about green research practices, products and services.
The Green Research Workshop offered on October 28, 2010 was a success. It offered attendees the opportunity to learn hands-on how to develop a lab-specific, waste-minimization plan and to discover practices, products and services available to reduce water consumption and save energy in the lab. The Green Research Workshop was a live interactive webcast. The Okanagan campus' contribution to the webcast was titled Real Options for Lab Stewardship Okanagan Campus presented by Judit Moldovan, Laboratory Manager for Irving K. Barber School of Arts and Sciences Unit 3, and Caitlyn Liberto, summer student. To view the entire webcast click here.
