Science should be available to curious people, not only institutions.
R&D BioTech Alaska began with a goal of widening access to science, especially for people held back by a lack of formal background, equipment, or a conventional path into research.
The work combines biological studies, materials experiments, scientific software, quantum research, practical fabrication, and public learning. Open-source collaboration and hands-on project work give contributors a way to learn by building.
Practical access
The organization began to make scientific work more approachable for people without formal laboratory access.
Hands-on work
Biology, materials, fabrication, software, and education meet through real projects and experiments.
