CSHL hosts many events all year long for science enthusiasts of all ages to attend . . . no Ph.D. required! We invite the general public to experience knowledge and nature at CSHL by taking a tour or participating in our concert & lecture programs.
- DNALC Live: Species Shorts: Australopithecus afarensis, DNALC Live: In Silico (On the Computer) DNA Restriction Analysis
DNALC Live: Species Shorts: Australopithecus afarensis
DNALC Live: Species Shorts: Australopithecus afarensis
When:1:30 pm - 1:45 pm
Summary:
You are the product of billions of years of evolutionary change! Join anthropologist Lindsay Barone to explore the hominins one-by-one in the DNALC Live series Species Shorts.
DNALC Live: In Silico (On the Computer) DNA Restriction Analysis
DNALC Live: In Silico (On the Computer) DNA Restriction Analysis
When:2:00 pm - 3:00 pm
Summary:
DNA and RNA encode information in the sequences of their nucleotide building blocks just as languages encode information in sequences of letters, words, and sentences. Bioinformatics uses information technology, such as computers and computer programs, to study the information in DNA and proteins. In this activity you will search for the entire genetic information of an organism (also known as a genome).
How are traits inherited from generation to generation? Join Megan in this introduction to Mendel’s laws of inheritance. By studying inherited traits in pea plants, we can understand how our own traits are passed down over generations.
- DNALC Live: Species Shorts: Paranthropus aethiopicus, DNALC Live: Kitchen Science: Mendelian Genetics - Build a Creature
DNALC Live: Species Shorts: Paranthropus aethiopicus
DNALC Live: Species Shorts: Paranthropus aethiopicus
When:1:30 pm - 1:45 pm
Summary:

DNALC Live: Kitchen Science: Mendelian Genetics - Build a Creature
DNALC Live: Kitchen Science: Mendelian Genetics - Build a Creature
When:3:00 pm - 3:45 pm
Summary:
Recycle materials from around your house to create an imaginary creature! Before building, you will randomly select the sets of genes—also known as alleles—that your creature inherited from its parents.
- DNALC Live: Invertebrate Biology Series: Plant - Insect Interactions, Part III, DNALC Live: AP Bio Chat - April 23, DNALC Live: Studying Human Variation
DNALC Live: Invertebrate Biology Series: Plant - Insect Interactions, Part III
DNALC Live: Invertebrate Biology Series: Plant - Insect Interactions, Part III
When:12:00 pm - 1:00 pm
Summary:
As we've seen in the previous entries of our Invertebrate Biology Series, the lifestyles of insects are often closely linked to plants. In fact, ever since their appearance 125 million years ago, flowering plants have diversified and developed alongside insects, leading to the incredible number of both species that we see today!
The College Board has announced that this year’s AP® Biology Exam will consist only of Units 1 – 6. The DNALC seeks to help students with content from Units 5 and 6, which pertain to molecular biology and genetics.
How do we study the differences between us without sequencing our DNA? Join DNALC instructor, Elna Gottlieb as she investigates variations in human traits through observation and analysis.
- DNALC Live: RNA-Seq with DNA Subway, Part III, DNALC Live: Species Shorts: Homo habilis, DNALC Live: DNA DAY Story Time, DNALC Live: DNA Sequence - Paper Chain Activity
DNALC Live: RNA-Seq with DNA Subway, Part III
DNALC Live: RNA-Seq with DNA Subway, Part III
When:12:00 pm - 1:00 pm
Summary:
RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) is a widely used experimental approach in molecular biology. Join Jason Williams for this three-part course to learn the basics of RNA-Seq and how to use the online platform DNA Subway to analyze an example data set.

This is a short story about the life of an extraordinary scientist: Barbara McClintock. One of the few American women scientists who won a Nobel Prize, Dr. McClintock spent most of her life working at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory and left behind many great memories here.
Although species share many similarities in their DNA, there are regions with differences in the order of the four DNA bases. These differences can be used to identify species! Construct a DNA paper chain “sequence” alongside Sharon during this fun and easy shelter-in-place science activity, just in time for DNA Day!
