Join us for our DNA Barcoding Symposium keynote address, “Understanding, deconstructing and rebuilding microbiomes to make a better world” presented by Dr. Javier A. Izquierdo, Associate Professor of Biology at Hofstra University. Dr. Izquierdo will respond to questions about his talk posted in the RUclips chat.
The Urban Barcode Project (UBP) funded by the Thompson Family Foundation, and Urban Barcode Research Program (UBRP), funded by matching grants from the Pinkerton Foundation and Simons Science Sandbox, involve high school students in independent research of biodiversity in New York City.

Barcoding US Ants, funded by a SEPA supplement to BLI, is a national effort that aims to show the feasibility of citizen scientists using DNA barcodes to identify and map the ant species of the United States. (dnabarcoding101.org/citizen/u...)
Founded in 1890, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL) has shaped contemporary biomedical research and education with programs in cancer, neuroscience, plant biology, and quantitative biology. Home to eight Nobel Prize winners, the private, not-for-profit Laboratory employs 1,100 people including 600 scientists, students, and technicians. The Meetings & Courses Program hosts more than 12,000 scientists from around the world each year on its campuses on Long Island and in Suzhou, China. The Laboratory's education arm also includes an academic publishing house, a graduate school, and the DNA Learning Center (DNALC).

In 1988, CSHL established the DNALC as the world’s first science center devoted entirely to public genetics education, and now operates facilities in Cold Spring Harbor, Brooklyn, Harlem, and Sleepy Hollow dnalc.cshl.edu/about/. The DNALC popularized several methods for delivering genetics instruction, including student laboratory field trips and summer camps, educator workshops, biotechnology kits, laboratory textbooks, equipment sharing consortia, student DNA sequencing, educational interfaces to bioinformatics tools, and multimedia learning materials for biology education.
