Lab Ops with Hops: Celebrating the Columbia Science Community
Quartzy presents: Lab Ops with Hops! 🧪🍻
We’re hosting an evening for Columbia’s scientists, lab managers, and research innovators to celebrate our recent Punchout Launch at Columbia University! Whether you're working at the bench, managing wet lab operations, or navigating purchasing, this night is for you.
⚡ What to Expect
High-energy lightning talks (7-to-10 minutes) designed to spark conversation:
How to Use AI Agents: A live, crowdsourced “vibecoding” session to tackle everyday lab problems with Chris Tappe.

The Evolution of a Scientist: Navigating your career path from the bench into Lab Operations with Judith Janette.
🍔 Bites, Drinks & Lab Hacks
Plenty of space to trade lab shortcuts, vent about backorders, and hang out with your local Columbia research community over drinks and small bites.
🎁 Exclusive Q-Bot Swag
We’ll have a limited-edition batch of Q-Bot themed merch available on a first-come, first-served basis—with special perks if you activate your lab's Quartzy punchout day-of!
