"Allen Institute for Cell Science" is no longer the way we identify. Update all uses of such wording.

Can you tell me your source for this one? I could have sworn I saw that you can just do Allen Institute, Cell Science without the word accelerator, in this particular type of usage. This is how others would cite AGAVE usage in their own work.

I think I have the language correct here. They did not explicitly tell us "Allen Institute, Cell Science Accelerator" was legit but the guidance we have gotten so far is limited. The main thing is to not say "Cell Science" alone and to use the word "accelerator" instead if "Institute" in the context of Allen Institute for Cell Science. It feels weird not to capitalize "the cell science accelerator at Allen Institute" and in a meeting we were told we could in sentences if we wanted to.
