Grateful to have received the Blue Flame Award from @Addgene with this amazing team! 🔥
We’re deeply committed to open science — sharing the tools we develop so they can travel far beyond our lab benches and be widely used, thanks to Addgene.

Lund Stem Cell Center researchers receive Blue Flame Award for contributions to open science Lund University. Plasmids are small, circular DNA molecules that serve as important tools in biological research. They are often used to deliver specific genes or gene-editing components, such as CRIS...

🧬 When research tools are shared, science moves faster.

In 2018, @ahleniuslab.bsky.social published a Nature Methods protocol to generate astrocytes from stem cells.

Henrik Ahlenius & Isaac Canals now receive the Blue Flame Award for sharing the plasmids via @addgene.bsky.social 👇

I am now a #HappyDepositor thanks to @addgene.bsky.social ! I really like this award because you don't get nominated for it, it just reflects how useful the reagents we created are for the community. More than 100 labs world-wide use our plasmids I hope they contribute to great discoveries!

New Blue Flame @Addgene depositor Dr. Song Tan creates a world-wide distribution map to see who has requested his DNA ladder plasmids. Great use of our Depositor Data! He's had requests from all 6 inhabited continents. #happydepositor https://www.addgene.org/browse/article/28189709/

So glad I was visiting Penn State today so I could hand deliver Dr. Song Tan's Blue Flame Award. @Addgene has distributed hundreds of Dr. Tan's pPSU DNA ladder plasmids around the world! #happydepositor https://www.addgene.org/Song_Tan/
