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.
As a precautionary measure to ensure the safety of our employees and visitors during the current COVID-19 outbreak, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL) is canceling and/or postponing events for public audiences.
- DNALC Live: Detecting Genetically Modified Foods by PCR, Part I, DNALC Live: Kitchen Science: DNA Extraction from Fruit
DNALC Live: Detecting Genetically Modified Foods by PCR, Part I
DNALC Live: Detecting Genetically Modified Foods by PCR, Part I
When:1:00 pm - 2:00 pm
Summary:
Most Americans might be surprised to know that over 90% of the corn and soy crops grown in the Unites States are genetically modified. The production of GMOs, or Genetically Modified Organisms is a well-debated topic, especially when it comes to our food!
- DNALC Live: Detecting Genetically Modified Foods by PCR, Part II, DNALC Live: AP Bio Chat, DNALC Live: Kitchen Science: Bubbling Liver
DNALC Live: Detecting Genetically Modified Foods by PCR, Part II
DNALC Live: Detecting Genetically Modified Foods by PCR, Part II
When:12:00 pm - 1:00 pm
Summary:
As a follow up to part I, DNALC instructor Jeff will demonstrate how gel electrophoresis is used to confirm the presence of foreign genes in DNA from common foods.
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.
The liver is an organ that detoxifies chemicals. All vertebrate organisms have livers! However, many of us do not know how the liver handles these molecules.
- DNALC Live: DNA Barcoding Part II: PCR and Gel Electrophoresis, DNALC Live: Industrial Enzymology: Cheese and Juice Production
DNALC Live: DNA Barcoding Part II: PCR and Gel Electrophoresis
DNALC Live: DNA Barcoding Part II: PCR and Gel Electrophoresis
When:1:00 pm - 2:00 pm
Summary:
DNA barcoding allows for the identification of an organism through analysis of a short region of DNA within its genome, similar to how the pattern of bars in a universal product code (UPC) identifies each consumer product.
DNALC Live: Industrial Enzymology: Cheese and Juice Production
DNALC Live: Industrial Enzymology: Cheese and Juice Production
When:3:00 pm - 3:30 pm
Summary:
The human genome is comprised of over 20,000 genes. Most genes are like molecular recipes, with coded instructions for creating proteins. Join DNALC instructor Brittany Johnson to learn how cells use genetic instructions to create thousands of different proteins.
- DNALC Live: Invertebrate Biology Series: Molting and Metamorphosis, Part I, DNALC Live: AP Bio Chat, DNALC Live: Museum Tour: Ötzi the Iceman
DNALC Live: Invertebrate Biology Series: Molting and Metamorphosis, Part I
DNALC Live: Invertebrate Biology Series: Molting and Metamorphosis, Part I
When:12:00 pm - 1:00 pm
Summary:
Insects, arachnids, crustaceans, and other arthropods all demonstrate a distinct pattern of growth and development over the course of their lives, known as metamorphosis, which is characterized by distinct changes in their body form.
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.
In the fall of 1991, two hikers in the Ötztal Alps discovered the mummified remains of a 5,300-year-old man. Now preserved in a climate-controlled freezer at the South Tyrol Museum of Archaeology in Italy, the mummy known as Ötzi the Iceman and his possessions provide a window into life in prehistoric Europe.
- DNALC Live: RNA-Seq with DNA Subway, Part I, DNALC Live: Pollen Tells a Story
DNALC Live: RNA-Seq with DNA Subway, Part I
DNALC Live: RNA-Seq with DNA Subway, Part I
When:1:00 pm - 2:00 pm
Summary:
RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) is a widely used experimental approach in molecular biology. RNA-Seq allows us to measure the level of RNA in cells and tissues, and therefore make inferences about what genes are active, under what circumstances, and when.
Join DNALC instructor Erin to discover how pollen in Ötzi’s digestive system was used as a forensic tool to create a timeline of where he may have been in the final 36 hours before his untimely demise.
