Hello Reclone Community :wave:

To wrap up our Community Meetings in style this year, we invite you all to join us on 2024-11-20T14:00:00Z. We will hear from @eperkins presenting about Addgene: Past, Present, & Future:

Addgene celebrates its 20th birthday in 2024. In twenty years, the nonprofit has redefined what a biorepository can be, demonstrably accelerating science in a variety of research areas, including genome engineering, neurobiology, and COVID. As technology changes and the needs of scientists evolve, Addgene will evolve as well to meet those needs. At the 2024 CZI Open Science conference, keynote speaker John Wilibanks described Addgene as a “breakthrough” piece of science infrastructure. After twenty years, how can Addgene continue to provide breakthrough infrastructural support?

:heavy_check_mark: He highlighted how Addgene’s model supports open science, reproducibility, and equitable access to research tools, especially in under-resourced labs.

:heavy_check_mark: Looking ahead, Addgene is expanding into new resources like viral vectors, CRISPR tools, and education, while reinforcing their mission of making science more accessible.
