2025 has been a defining year for SoundBio Lab. 🧪✨ As we look toward 2026, we’re reflecting on the organic growth that has strengthened our mission to provide space, tools, and community for hands-on science education in the greater Seattle area.

From securing major funding to expanding our leadership, we’re building a powerful foundation for the future of community science.

Our 2025 Highlights:

Grant Funding: We were honored to be recipients of the 4Culture Science and Technology Sustained Support grant, totaling $55k over 3 years. This support from King County is vital to our continued social and economic impact.

Expert Leadership: Following our fall recruitment, the SBL Board of Directors now hosts the highest concentration of domain experts in our 9-year history.

Community Impact: Your participation is what drives us! This year, you joined us for:

🗓️ 30+ in-person workshops and courses
🏫 10+ outreach events at local schools
🔬 Countless hours of independent research in our lab

We are currently heads-down on our 2026 strategy -- collaborating as a team of professionals passionate about protecting the value of science in our culture and society.

How you can help: Your active participation and financial contributions are what electrify this organization. Follow us to see what we have in store for the new year! 🚀
