When there’s this much courage and innovation in one space, you can almost feel it in the air. It’s an understanding, a sense that everyone here shares the same mission: to improve people’s lives and help make the world a better place. Imagine the possibilities.
On November 19, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL) will host its 20th annual Double Helix Medals dinner at the American Museum of Natural History. Hundreds of luminaries from across the worlds of science, medicine, sports, and entertainment are expected to gather in Manhattan’s Upper West Side as CSHL honors tennis rivals turned cancer advocates Chris Evert and Martina Navratilova along with perhaps the most accomplished biotechnology engineer of the modern era, Dr. Bob Langer.
Held each November at the world-famous American Museum of Natural History, the Double Helix Medals dinner is CSHL’s largest annual fundraising event. Past honorees include Muhammad Ali, Kareem Abdul Jabbar, and a who’s who of philanthropists and fundamental biologists, with no fewer than eight Nobel laureates among them. The event is hosted by CBS’ Lesley Stahl and made possible through the support of generous tax-deductible donations to Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory.
