- W2337016126 abstract "The trash can in my well-equipped Yale laboratory was overflowing with used gloves, tubes, and plastic tip boxes. As I neatly folded my own gloves and placed them in my drawer, I thought about how my experiences in my home of Jordan gave me a different perspective than that of many of my lab mates. Jordan's growing population, undergoing rapid modernization, generates an overwhelming volume of solid waste, and municipalities cannot afford modern solid waste collection, recycling, or successful landfill management. Solid waste mismanagement leads to public health risks. Meanwhile, purchasing lab consumables and chemicals is complicated by terrible bureaucracy in procurement and management of grants ([ 1 ][1]). In Jordan, we would fight over a box of gloves.![Figure][2] IMAGES: (LEFT) WIKIMEDIA COMMONS; (RIGHT) KUN-YONG KIM, P.HD.I dreamed about taking all the waste home to Jordan to reuse, but I couldn't possibly fit it all in my luggage. Still, I couldn't bear to throw my materials away. One day, while staring at a pile of crinkled gloves, an idea occurred to me. Each glove looked like a cell. Together, they could form a picture of a stem cell colony.Inspired to create a piece of recycled science art, I started a campaign to collect used gloves, tip boxes, and tubes (those that were not a biohazard, of course) all across the lab. The other members of my lab started collecting as well. The night before I left Yale to return to Jordan, my daughter and I spent all night creating our masterpiece, depicting a stem cell colony of mouse embryonic fibroblasts. We presented it to my lab group as a gift before leaving. Everyone loved it! One lab member even added a purple glove to represent a mycoplasma contaminating the colony.Once I returned to my country, I found a way to continue my artistic recycling efforts. When I teach cell biology to undergraduate students, I require them to create a piece of art from recycled material that represents a scientific concept. Perhaps we can help alleviate the growing solid waste problems in Jordan if we all embrace the idea that one scientist's trash can be another scientist's treasure.1.
