Other Lectures and Concerts
Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory continued to host the Huntington Hospital Lecture Series, which ran from February to June. This year's topic was "Keeping Your Heart Healthy," part of Huntington Hospital's Heart Health Lecture program.
On June 26, the Laboratory welcomed Viviana Risca, the 2000 winner of the Intel Science Talent Search, and Laura F. Landweber, an assistant professor at Princeton University, for a special public lecture on "DNA Games: From Computing to Espionage." The event attracted a large group of teens and adults interested in DNA and the human genome.
On October 28, Phillip Valentine Tobias, Professor Emeritus at the University of the Witwatersrand in Johannesburg, presented a special public lecture titled "Humanity's Cradle: 75 Years of Evolutionary Studies in Africa." As part of a special Halloween program, "Bones and Strings," Dr. Tobias lectured on his research of the human biology of the peoples of Southern Africa. A special public concert by famed violinist Viviane Hagner followed the lecture.
