The holidays may be over, but signs of holiday spirit still linger on around the Addgene office as we peruse the #DeckTheLab submissions. We asked all of the Addgenies to pick their favorites out of the bunch and here’s what ended up on top.

Winter is upon us and we’re getting into the holiday spirit here at Addgene. We’ve adorned our walls with snowflakes, put out some hot chocolate, and added some winter cheer to the lab.

Now it’s your turn! Show us your lab holiday decorations by participating in our annual #DeckTheLab contest. Get creative and build a pipette tip tree or go all out and create a massive wall mural. Snap a photo of your lab holiday decor and tag it with #DeckTheLab and @Addgene. This year, we’re opening up the contest to Twitter and Instagram.

Although we're storing away all of our holiday decorations, our holiday spirit remains. We would like to thank everyone who participated in our annual #Deckthelab contest. The bar was set very high from last year’s impressive entries, but our community of creative scientists delivered some spectacular photos once again this year!

All winners receive an Addgene care package with Addgene mugs and some delicious hot chocolate for the lab. Here are some of our 2017 contest winners:

Here at Addgene we’re getting into the holiday spirit by kicking off our annual #DeckTheLab contest. The bar is set very high from last year’s impressive entries, but we have faith our community of creative scientists will deliver some fabulous photos again this year!

Bricking Science is an idea built, literally, 'brick-by-brick' to introduce people all around the world to the lives of researchers and PhD students.

Everybody in science knows that there are many ways your experiments can go wrong. Whether it be a bad fridge freezing your samples, or a dysregulated water bath boiling your experiments, just about anything can disrupt your bench work and sometimes no culprit can be found…. In our lab we call this mysterious source of failure the lab gnome.
