2010 Meetings - Save the date!

Evolution Symposium: The 2009 CSHL Symposium on Evolution - The Molecular Landscape celebrating Darwin's 200th birthday and the 150th anniversary of the publication of On the Origin of Species attracted 400 participants to CSH from around the world. Video/audio archive of interviews with leading scientists (expert chats) and a special session on evolution and the public are now available. As with all our meetings, Symposium participants can access the talks through our Leading Strand website.

New policy on blogging, tweeting etc - with the growth in social networking tools, scientists often do their own reporting and commenting. We have introduced some new guidelines for bloggers and tweeters to safeguard presenters at our meetings.

Thanks to federal funds, foundation, corporate and society support, we provided partial stipends to almost 750 graduate students and postdocs who attended meetings or courses at Cold Spring Harbor in 2008. Read testimonials of course students from Argentina, Brazil, India and Romania who received IBRO fellowships.
