Jennifer Raymond | Director of Corporate Relations
Seeding Labs
As Director of Corporate Relations at Seeding Labs, Jennifer partners with life-science companies and academic institutions to give their excess lab equipment a second life. Seeding Labs offers partners a sustainable, one-stop solution for decommissioned and excess equipment, keeping working instruments out of storage and the waste stream while helping partners advance their sustainability and social impact goals. Donated equipment from hundreds of partners goes on to strengthen universities and research institutes in under-resourced settings, with 187 shipments to 43 developing countries so far. With the tools they need, these talented scientists, researchers, and educators build strong scientific institutions, train the next generation of their countries' workforce, and develop solutions to both local development needs and global challenges. Before joining Seeding Labs, Jennifer led fundraising and constituent engagement for the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory, the Boston Symphony Orchestra, and Brandeis University. She holds a BA in French Studies from Wellesley College.

Round Table 8) Sharing best practices: end-of-use planning for excess equipment
Every lab has to deal with unwanted lab equipment that is unnecessarily hogging space and financial resources. What are your best practices for this challenge?
To kick off our conversation, we’ll start with an intro to Seeding Labs. This award-winning, US-based nonprofit partners with life science companies to connect donated, fully functional biology and chemistry lab equipment with talented scientists and educators in emerging markets around the globe.
