In this episode of the podcast, we talk to Kerstin Hermuth-Kleinschmidt who works as an independent green lab advisor in Germany.

How did Kerstin transition from science and sales to sustainability in science? What is the EcoMapping Method and how can you use it to reduce the climate impact of your lab in a systematic way? And what are Kerstin's expectations for the future of the green lab movement!?

Join us on our mission towards more sustainable research as we discuss obstacles and solutions, talk to other caring scientists, and try to figure out how to make scientific research more sustainable. One thing is certain: Mission Sustainable isn't a Mission Impossible!
