Labs all over the developing world can really use this stuff. Science overseas often stalls due to a lack of basic equipment, and many times, teaching labs just don't have enough materials to go around. That's where a nonprofit called Seeding Labs comes in. They shuttle surplus lab supplies from the U.S. to the people who need them in the developing world with the help of student groups like this one. Seeding Labs was founded by Nina Dudnik, who has a Ph.D. from Harvard in molecular biology. I met her on the 14th floor of a building on Boston's waterfront, a temporary space for innovative startups. Dudnik's in her early 30s. She's got short brown hair, and she smiles a lot. "There are talented people everywhere in the world, but they don't have equal access to the resources to do great science." Dudnik ran into this problem firsthand after she graduated from college. She went to a lab in the Ivory Coast in Africa, where she worked on breeding better varieties of rice. The lab was short on supplies, and her lab mate had to spend a lot of time working around the problem. A large part of her job was washing and drying disposable plastic test tubes. The goal was to re-use them for three months at a time. This is such a commonplace item here that if you drop one on the floor, you throw it away. We would never have ever have thrown them away in the Ivory Coast. Dudnik spent a year living and working in Africa, and every day, she experienced the passion and generosity of those around her. "I, I loved it there. I had phenomenal friends and neighbors. I was adopted by a village." So when it was time for her to leave to start her Ph.D., she knew she couldn't just walk away. She had to do something.
