12 days of Benchling: Ring in the holidays with JeffyP

🎵 On the 2nd of December, JeffyP gave to me, a special Benchling sweater for free!

‘Tis the season for gift giving, so to get you in the spirit (and have something to wear to your lab holiday party), we’re kicking off our first-ever #12 DaysOfBenchling, and we’d love for you to join the fun! Don’t miss your chance to win one of 12 limited edition holiday sweaters. Learn how by reading below.

Over the next 12 days, we’ll be sharing a piece of content straight from the one and only JeffyP — your favorite Benchling! Don't know them? Our mascot’s name might sound more familiar if spelled G-F-P, or green fluorescent protein. First isolated from jellyfish in 1962, GFP is used in labs around the world to track the expression of genes and other molecules within cells.

From jellyfish facts, to top science reads, to the State of Tech in Biopharma, JeffyP is counting down the days until you can go from bench to bells-a-ringing:
