Let us return to those great sounds of yesteryear, when music played a major part of our lives.

“We’re goin’ hoppin’ (hop),“We’re goin’ hoppin’ today.“Where things are poppin’ (pop),“The HudsonAlpha way.“We’re gonna drop in (drop),“On all the projects they have“At the HudsonAlpha Bandstand …

(With apologies to Barry Manilow and “American Bandstand”)

Dr. Neil Lamb, president of HudsonAlpha Institute for Biotechnology, will “emcee” a special musical presentation update next month on HudsonAlpha’s research, including breakthroughs and scientific advances.

The event, which features a creative musical theme for each topic, is sponsored by the EKTA Foundation. Admission is free but pre-registration is required; visit haib.org/neilupdate. It will be Aug. 19 at 5:30 p.m. at the Jackson Center.

Visitors can explore HudsonAlpha’s latest discoveries and updates, all set to a musical mix spanning the decades. Discover how HudsonAlpha’s mission is improving lives in the community and beyond.

This event is part of HudsonAlpha’s 2025 event series, a variety of public activities and events throughout the year to raise public literacy about genomics and the role DNA plays in everyday lives.
