CSHL hosts many events all year long for science enthusiasts of all ages to attend . . . no Ph.D. required! We invite the general public to experience knowledge and nature at CSHL by taking a tour or participating in our concert & lecture programs.
Though many people fear bees and wasps, most of these amazing insects pose little threat to humans. In fact, when you take a closer look, many have incredible lifestyles and habits!

When:2:00 pm - 2:30 pm
Summary:
In this activity, you will use bioinformatics tools to understand how DNA sequence similarities reveal relationships between species. You will start with a puzzling question: why do humans have fewer chromosomes than chimpanzees?
DNALC Live: Barcode Long Island Symposium Keynote Address
DNALC Live: Barcode Long Island Symposium Keynote Address
When:3:00 pm - 4:00 pm
Summary:
For the past 6 years, high school students and teachers across Long Island have participated in the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory DNA Learning Center’s research program, Barcode Long Island (BLI).

- DNALC Live: Detecting Genetically Modified Foods by PCR, Part I, DNALC Live: Urban Barcode Symposium Keynote Address
DNALC Live: Detecting Genetically Modified Foods by PCR, Part I
DNALC Live: Detecting Genetically Modified Foods by PCR, Part I
When:12:00 pm - 1:00 pm
Summary:
Most Americans might be surprised to know that over 90% of the corn and soy crops grown in the Unites States are genetically modified. The production of GMOs, or Genetically Modified Organisms is a well-debated topic, especially when it comes to our food!
The Urban Barcode Project (UBP) is a science program spanning the five boroughs of New York City and the surrounding metropolitan area. The UBP is the first large-scale effort to engage high school students using DNA technology to explore biodiversity in New York City and is currently supported by The Thompson Family Foundation.
