On International Day of Women and Girls in Science, we recognize that the next breakthrough might come from the young minds we inspire today. At Capstan, we don’t just talk about the future – we create it. During our Bring Your Kids to Work Day, young scientists stepped into the lab, conducted real experiments, and experienced the magic of discovery firsthand.? ? When kids engage with science early, they don’t just observe – they become part of it. Innovation begins with access, opportunity, and the belief that anyone can shape the future of biotech. ? Today, we celebrate the girls who dream fearlessly and the scientists who turn those dreams into reality. ? #WomenInScience #STEM #FutureScientists #Biotech #GirlsInScience

Last week, #TeamCapstan had a lot to celebrate! We kicked things off with our monthly tradition of honoring January birthdays, recognizing the team members born this month. Since we officially expanded into a brand-new suite in December, we combined the birthday festivities with an "office warming party" and shared a cozy hot cocoa bar to toast new beginnings. Today, we continue the celebrations with?Lunar New Year, the year of the snake, bringing in the festive spirit with traditional sesame balls and office decorations to mark the occasion. Wishing everyone prosperity, good fortune, and a great year ahead!
