We won!

We’re so excited to have been selected as one of the winners from the Amgen nonprofit fair.

Today we got to return to the Amgen offices where Parmvir and David collected the giant check on behalf of Scientists, Inc. and we were overjoyed to discover that an extra $1000 had been added to the total!

The final amount may not seem like much, but to a small organization like ours that is completely volunteer run, it gives us the opportunity to launch a new project. So watch this space for more details about our Sense-Ational SciFest coming up in 2021.

This funding came from the Amgen Foundation which:

“seeks to advance excellence in science education to inspire the next generation of innovators, and invest in strengthening communities where Amgen staff members live and work”

We’re glad that the employees in Tampa saw the potential of our work and thank them for their support. You can find out more about the foundation here.
