Over 800 kits were delivered today for our Virtual Hands-on Field Trips! It’s not too late to book before the year ends! @DNALC #science #genetics #virtuallearning 🧫🧬🧪
One of the teachers we work with snapped this picture during our Pollen Virtual Lab Demonstration. The students were so excited to find this one. Can you guess what plant this came from? @DNALC #virtuallearning #science #pollen #Otzi #amscope 🌺🌻🌹🌼

Students often practice science in a classroom, but it can happen anywhere! Read about how @DNALC helps students monitor biodiversity in their own backyards with DNA Barcoding: cshl.edu/seeding-citizen-sci…

Seeding citizen science with DNA barcoding | Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory

New York City and Cold Spring Harbor, NY — School field trips can help make classroom lessons come alive. In science, these trips might include hands-on experiments, where students act like “scient...

I was able to join this webinar hosted by @SouthamptonCtr on “The Ripple Effect: Small Actions Impacting Larger Scale Change”. The recording is up on Youtube and it is worth a watch! #conservation #oystergardening #reduceplastics youtube.com/watch?v=0lKoNprN…

Happy Earth Day! 🌎 Flashing it back to my internship with the NYS DEC where I helped assess the stock size of juvenile striped bass in Long Island bays. One of the best experiences! #environmentalscience #biodiversity ⁦@NYSDEC⁩ #conservation #earthday #stripedbass

While the world focuses on #COVID19, grads of the @DNALC understand the science. Since 1995, approx 68K per year have used PCR, the tech at the heart of COVID19 testing. Here is a chance to catch up with what those students know.👇 #PCRtest cshl.edu/why-your-kid-can-ex…

Double triage to identify poorly annotated genes in maize: The missing link in community curation

The sophistication of gene prediction algorithms and the abundance of RNA-based evidence for the maize genome may suggest that manual curation of gene models is no longer necessary. However, quality...

Spent Saturday morning working on @CSHL sponsored oyster cages in Laurel Hollow. Our oysters have doubled in size since the season began! Its a great opportunity to work with the community and raise awareness about the importance of water quality. @friendsofthebay
