Personal Note from Patrick, the Editor

Hi Reader, there is one very well-known company that is lying to you.

I am talking about manipulating data and greenwashing. More about that later today. Here is your link to join.

But to stay positive, today you will also hear from a scientist turned entrepreneur.

Dr. Katie Day turned her passion into a company that helps prevent bovine fetuses from being slaughtered for FBS.

The advantage? The alternative to FBS is chemically-defined and more reliable.

Here is what else you will hear today:

From Bioplastics to Western Blots

What happens if you autoclave bio-based tubes?

What if you then fill them with acetonitrile and leave them for one hour at 37°C?

These tubes contained 20% recycled material and were centrifuged at 40°C, so they are nowhere near the current biobased alternatives.

I will tell you later.

But we will also talk about how to estimate the impact of bioplastics and the nuances involved.

Better Data with a Lower Footprint

VerdiBlot has created a unique Western blot membrane that is more readily biodegradable.

And while it reduces environmental impacts, it also offers lower background and higher sensitivity.

How? Join us and find out.

More Reliable Cell Growth

Imagine using a product that is not standardized, where some batches simply don't work as well as others.

Again, it comes from fetuses – which is why some worry about its availability.

“If you had to sell FBS as a new product, you would have a hard time.” That is a comment from Katie that stuck with me.

The alternative is chemically defined, more sustainable, and called FRS.

Machine Learning for New Ideas

What if you could use an algorithm that tells you which chemicals are greener to use?

And what if it could run locally, so you wouldn't have to worry about data privacy? Elle will tell you.

How to Address Colleagues

Finally, I will discuss with Ben how we can drive change – whether in sterile, regulated, or other environments.

We will share case studies, first-hand experiences, and how you can best convince your colleagues and bosses.

If you are curious, here is the line-up.

And you can use this link to join.

See you later.
