Yahara Software

Here's what happens when our CTO starts playing around in Gemini. Have you guys met our mascot, Wauby? Wauby is a river otter named after Lake Waubesa, one of the four major lakes in Dane County where Yahara Software is located. Happy Friday, everyone! Have a great weekend.

We just got back from SLAS — and there was a lot to unpack. This year, a few clear themes stood out. Here are six trends we’re watching closely:

🔬 Custom hardware is outpacing custom software — and integration is becoming a growing challenge for smaller labs.
🧬 Advances in instrumentation are accelerating research in personalized medicine, single-cell therapies, and DNA synthesis.
💰 Organizations are quick to invest in hardware and consumables — but software is still often treated as a one-time expense.
⚡ Technology adoption cycles are speeding up, forcing labs to decide: build now, or wait for what’s next?
🏭 Not every efficient lab is chasing flashy new tools — strong processes still win.
🔐 Rapid tech adoption isn’t always matched with long-term thinking around scalability and DevSecOps.

We’ll be breaking these down in more detail at our next Yahara Live — what we saw, what it means, and where the industry may be headed next. Register for the event by visiting: https://hubs.ly/Q044c0H40

We're so proud of Kat, one of our software engineers, for the incredible volunteer work she's doing to inspire more girls to get involved in STEM. Kat is invaluable at Yahara, and we love that others get to experience her drive and passion for tech. Thanks, Kat for being a good example to the next generations.
