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.
