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.
Hear the story about plant science, entrepreneurial spirit, and pond scum in this free lecture. CSHL Professor and HHMI Investigator Rob Martienssen, alongside Infinitree Inc. CEO Frank O'Keefe, discuss how simple duckweed can help address climate change and energy needs.
Pre-registration required. Visit the DNA Learning Center for a tour of the Ötzi the Iceman exhibition led by one of our staff educators. Hear Ötzi's story.
Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL) is canceling the March 8, 2019 public lecture as a precautionary safety measure in consideration of the latest developments regarding COVID-19, also known as coronavirus disease 2019.

The DNA restriction analysis experiment demonstrates that DNA can be precisely manipulated and that it behaves as predicted by the Watson-Crick structure.
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.
Many stories have been told about the Romanovs, the last royal family of Russia. During the Russian Revolution of 1918 the Romanovs went missing. It was determined that that the family was likely murdered...
In Episode 2, our study of human evolution continues with a look at our ancient ancestors, the hominins. Who were they and what did they look like? We will look at DNA evidence for how modern humans evolved...
Cells are the building blocks of life. Join DNALC instructor Megan as she introduces the basic structure and function of the animal cell and walks you through the steps of building a cell model out of household materials.
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.
Many species can be difficult and time consuming to identify through morphology alone, especially without specialized training and specific knowledge of taxonomy. DNA barcoding helps to level the playing field, offering an approach to species identification that provides non-experts a way to rapidly identify organisms!

Enzymes speed up chemical reactions, including the digestion of food. Lactase is an intestinal enzyme responsible for the digestion of the sugar lactose in milk. The production of lactase is an important part of the interesting evolutionary story of why some humans are lactose intolerant, and others are not.
This three-part series will take you through the bioinformatics of DNA barcoding using the DNA Subway Blue Line (https://dnasubway.cyverse.org/). Bioinformatics – the data science of biology – is crucial to understanding life.
The last episode of our study of human evolution looks at an enigmatic “jumping gene” and how it can be used to study the dynamics of human populations.
Since their discovery in 1928, antibiotics have saved millions of lives from fatal bacterial infections. Join DNALC instructor Erin as she explores the role that antibiotics play in the treatment of bacterial infections.
