We did it!

Hi, Orlando here! I just wanted to take an opportunity to thank the Experiment foundation and every single person who has backed this project.

We just hit the 100% mark and that means so much to me, all of the volunteers at SoundBio Lab and everyone who is going to be able to build a relationship with science because of your support. We are hoping that will include not only the hundreds of people directly learning in these courses at SoundBio Lab but also folks at other labs who are able to take and adapt our curriculum to their spaces.

There will be more lab notes to follow - For now please enjoy these pictures from the recently launched Microbiology Essentials course at SoundBio Lab. And please let me know what in particular you would like to hear about or see as we advance through this project?

Yours in science,

Orlando de Lange

About This Project

The traditional model for life sciences education fails to offer hands-on opportunities for diverse audiences. At SoundBio Lab, we believe that getting hands on with science in the lab builds sustained motivation and changes lives. We will develop and test a set of hands-on molecular biology courses offered in our community lab space. These courses require minimal specialized equipment and the curricula will be shared freely online so other community labs can benefit from the work.

Blast off!
