Podcasts about seeding labs

In this episode of the podcast, we focus not only on ecological sustainability but also on social equity in science. Together with the CEO of the non-profit organization Seeding Labs, Melissa Wu, we discuss how donating surplus lab equipment impacts the two. Which types of lab equipment can be donated to the “Instrumental Access” program, and how is it decided who receives it? Can broken lab equipment be given a new life through Seeding Labs? And in which ways have donations via Seeding Labs improved local responses to natural disasters and COVID-19? 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! Your hosts are: Adriana Wolf Perez, Ph.D., working as a scientist in a biomedical start-up company in Cambridge, UK Nikoline Borgermann, Ph.D., working as an independent green lab consultant at Ava Sustain in Copenhagen, Denmark ... and both are passionate about the planet and people!

In our podcast discussion this week, we are chatting with Nina Dudnik, founder and CEO of Seeding Labs. We discuss topics relating to taking a nonprofit from an idea run by a group of volunteers to a productive organization, Nina’s challenges of shifting from the scientist mode to the nonprofit leader mode, and the steps they took to professionalize and fund their growing idea. The key points covered in this podcast discussion are: Recognizing When It’s Time to Professionalize a Nonprofit Recognizing the Right Next Step as a Non-Profit Evolves Running a Non-Profit is Often Living in the Midst of Unknowns Larger Grants Often Mean More Data Tracking Listen to Your Gut Instinct and Don’t Over-Analyze Visit www.SocialGoodInstigators.com to find the podcast, transcript, and to sign up to receive notifications as new episodes are released.

Susan Murphy Warren is the COO of Seeding Labs an organization that sends lab equipment to schools that need them all over the world. We chat about her career in medical devices and international development.

On tonight's show, we broadcast excerpts from a conversation between Gopal Dayaneni and Dr. Vandana Shiva.  It was part of an event held in Berkeley last month called Seeding Labs, Ceding Seeds: Regional and Global Impacts of the Biotech Bonanza. World renowned environmental philosopher and activist Vandana Shiva illuminates the corporate assault on biological and cultural diversity and helps us connect the dots: What is the East Bay “Green Corridor,” who is creating it, and what does it mean for communities here and around the globe? Don't forget, we're in fund drive at KPFA, so show us your support tonight by making a contribution.  Give us a call at 510-848-5732 or 1-800-HEY-KPFA.

Guest: Nina Dudnik, PhD Host: Cathleen Margolin, PhD Extra medical and laboratory supplies ordered by researchers and practitioners in the developed world are often kept in storage or thrown away prematurely. The story is very different for colleagues in less fortunate parts of the world, many of whom struggle to sustain their research initiatives without access to proper equipment. Host Dr. Cathleen Margolin interviews Dr. Nina Dudnik, co-founder and executive director of Seeding Labs, a philanthropic group working to share surplus supplies with scientists and medical practitioners in need worldwide. How can we, as medical professionals, participate in this opportunity?
