When you think about going to a scientific conference, you may think about sitting amongst a sea of chairs listening to talks all day. But nope, not at the American Society for Microbiology 2018 Microbe meeting. Soon after I arrived, I was looking through a paper-based, ...
This guest post was contributed by Ally Huang is a 4th year PhD student at MIT. While I had always enjoyed learning about biology in high school, it wasn’t until I started working in my first molecular biology lab in college that I really fell in love with it. Something about ...
This guest post was contributed by Sana Khan Khilji, a PhD student at the Max Planck Institute of Colloids and Interfaces. Here are some tips for cell culture that will hopefully help you keep a well organized lab and contamination free environment for successful experiments:
Scientists routinely use techniques to alter gene expression or to label specific cells, but there are too few resources to teach students how to perform these experiments in the beginning. In most classrooms, the laboratory experience is focused on classical embryology ...
The field of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) has been around for 10 years. In that time, scientists have used almost all available approaches for generating iPSCs. The generation of iPSCs is relatively simple in concept: ectopically express a cocktail of stem cell ...
Today on the Addgene Podcast, we have another interview conducted by European Outreach Scientist Benoit Giquel. Ben recently spoke with Joachim Goεdhart, a professor at the University of Amsterdam. In addition to creating and sharing many great fluorescent protein tools, ...
Today’s episode of the Addgene Podcast features guest host and Addgene European Outreach Scientist, Benoit Giquel. Traveling from our offices just outside of London, it was a short journey for Benoit to interview Addgene Advisory Board Member and lead researcher at Imperial ...
This post was contributed by guest blogger Stephanie Hays, a researcher at the University of California Berkeley. It’s been half a year since the march for science on April 22, 2017. While experiments (and editors) can move slowly, news about possible broad changes to policies ...
