The most recent series in Nature’s Soapbox Science blog focuses on different ways scientists worldwide are funding their research in the current economic climate. Tekla Labs, Kickstarter, and Petridish are all featured as new avenues for scientists to fufill their research needs in the face of decreasing federal funding and parallel increases in crowdsourcing and social networking.
As part of this discussion, see Tekla Labs’ text on Soapbox for our ideas on engaging individual scientists as active global citizens.

Just a reminder that Tekla Labs is going to be at the AAAS Annual Meeting this weekend!
We are organizing a symposium on Friday, featuring talks focused around ways in which scientists, engineers, and policy makers can encourage the growth of research capacity in emerging regions. Dr. Iruka Okeke, an associate professor in biology at Haverford College, will be joining us to discuss her experiences working with labs in Africa and share insights on how to build fruitful international scientific collaborations. Our own Lina Nilsson will give a talk about Tekla Labs and other recent efforts to make low-cost, high quality laboratory tools using off-the-shelf resources. Finally we will hear from Dr. Barbara Gastel, a professor at Texas A&M University, who will discuss her work on the AuthorAID project, which aims to connect researchers in developing countries to the global science community by helping them write about and publish their research.

The third annual TEDxBerkeley event is coming up this Saturday, and Tekla Labs will be there! For those of you unfamiliar with TEDx conferences, they are “a program of local, self organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience” throughout the world, and we are excited to be a part of this one being held on the UC Berkeley campus.
Join us in listening to some inspiring speakers, and stop by our table to see our designs in action and hear more about what Tekla Labs has in store for the new year!

We at Tekla Labs are very much looking forward to the second annual Science Hack Day, coming up on November 12 & 13th. Tickets are free but limited, so we suggest you get yours soon! Science Hack Day is a 48-hour event that brings together scientists, designers, hackers, and anyone else interested in problem solving/learning/having fun to collaborate on user contributed science hacks. You can check out the demoed hacks from last year here, and look at what people have planned or add your own ideas to this year’s hacks here. Hope to see you there!
