Hello, so I'm coming to the end of my time as the main volunteer organizer for #Biotech Without Borders (a 501(c)(3) in the USA and an all-volunteer member-led #community biolab, aka #makerspace for molecular #biology). I'm reaching out to ask for #donations to keep our #lab running in 2024. We want to be entirely supported by memberships but its' taking time to find our people. https://opencollective.com/bwob2024
