About the Communications Department
The mission of the Communications Department at CSHL is to position the Laboratory among key constituencies as an innovative, entrepreneurial research and education enterprise at the leading edge of biology.
We manage the interaction with the media (regional, national and international) and the public about CSHL’s research, educational programs, events and other news. Some of the tools we use include news releases, distribution services, www.cshl.edu, LabDish blog, Twitter, Facebook and direct contact with reporters. We also respond to unsolicited media and public inquiries about what is happening at the Laboratory.
We encourage credentialed journalists to subscribe to our embargoed content.

We welcome accredited journalists and freelance writers to sign up for access to our embargoed content (see “Media Sign up,” below). We will frequently post the text of news releases, and occasionally feature content, on an embargoed basis. Credentialed media have access to this content, and are expected to strictly observe posted embargo dates.
Embargo Policy
Content labeled as “embargoed” is intended for the exclusive use of eligible and accredited media. Access will be granted to individuals deemed to have demonstrated media credentials and a credible interest in writing about Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory. In signing up, you agree without exception to obey embargo dates that we indicate in all embargoed materials, and agree not to publish, publicize or in any other way publicly divulge the content of the embargoed material before such embargoes lift. If accredited media have questions about the terms or dates of posted embargoes, they should contact the Communications team directly, via phone at 516-367-8455 or email at publicaffairs@cshl.edu. Those who violate posted embargoes will no longer have access to this content.
