Soundbio Lab

Programs: Community biology lab space - soundbios physical location is a community biolab, equipped with all the key equipment necessary to perform most molecular biology work and related scientific activities. This space is used by members for their own independent research projects as well as by members of the public who wish to participate in community projects that help to engage locals in citizen science. Soundbio currently has over five independent research projects underway as well as two communtiy projects with meeting attendance between 2 and 10 people each session.

tabling events - soundbios volunteers and members are passionate about bringing science education to the community, so frequently bring science outreach activities to the greater seattle area by attending many tabling events. These events reach a variety of audiences, often targeting middle school age and below as well as reaching low-income communities that otherwise dont get much exposure to hands-on science learning. In 2017, soundbio attended nearly 15 tabling events with each event reaching anywhere from 30 to a couple hundred participants.

educational workshops - also hosted within the community lab space itself are educational workshops, open to the general public, where anyone is able to learn common biology protocols in a hands-on way. Throughout the year, soundbio ran nearly 10 workshops in its lab with the number of participants at each session ranging from 5 to 20 people.
