As a global company, our community truly has no borders, so when it comes to getting involved, we try to give equitably among the myriad of worthy causes. We participate in various types of philanthropic work each year. We donate company funds and match the donations of our employees to groups that support wildlife preservation, supplies for displaced refugees, STEM education for students, childhood cancer research and more. We are constantly looking for opportunities to support our local community and connect with the larger life science community.
Science for a Better World
This year, we offered our own NIL grant of $50,000 to be divided among 10 promising junior or senior undergraduate researchers ($5,000 each). Our team believes that supporting people entering STEM fields as a profession is crucial to the future of innovative scientific research. We make it a point to mentor and support individuals that are early in their education and career. Meet the 10 students awarded with the Scientist.com STEM Research NIL Award and Scholarship in 2023.
