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.

Embargo Policy

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.
