Clinical Lab Sustainability Twitter Spaces event

In November, the IBMS trialled a special edition of the regular monthly #IBMSChat, using Twitter’s new ‘Spaces’ live audio feature.

‘Twitter Spaces’ is a way for audiences to get involved in live audio conversations. Anyone can join, listen or speak in a Space on Twitter using the app. Website users can listen and post questions.

Sheri Scott, Senior Lecturer in biomedical science at Nottingham Trent University, co-hosted the first ever Twitter Space-based #IBMSChat.

With the UN’s climate change conference COP27 taking place in Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt this month and featuring highly in the news, the topic of discussion will be on sustainability in labs, where Sheri will provide invaluable insight on the environmental issues that labs face and the actions that can be taken to try to increase sustainability.

Sheri  built on her session at the Biomedical Scientist Live event, which took place earlier the same day, alongside #IBMSChat co-host, Rob Dabrowski, editor of the Biomedical Scientist magazine.

To listen back to the conversation about laboratory sustainable practices, from recycling reagent bottles to installing LED lighting with motion sensors, as well as the ‘leading-by-example’ influences of organisations like the HCPC themselves, following link: https://twitter.com/i/spaces/1MYGNgedVrQJw?s=20

To post questions, you can do so as normal by tweeting Sheri @Teachbiomed or the @IBMScience using the ‘#IBMSChat’ hashtag. One of us will then aim to respond.
