Cocktails & Chromosomes

Unleash your inner scientist and join us for an exciting evening at the intersection of cocktails and cutting-edge research!
About this Event

Welcome back! We have made some changes to our beloved Cocktails & Chromosomes program! Starting January 2026, we will be hosting Cocktails & Chromosomes at Six Harbors Brewing Company in Huntington, NY.

What happens when cutting-edge science meets a good drink? Cocktails & Chromosomes is Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory’s every-other-month lecture series that invites the public to connect with CSHL scientists, explore timely research topics, and discover how science shapes our everyday lives — all while enjoying your favorite cocktail or beer.

Doors open at 6:45pm, event starts promptly at 7:00pm. Seating is first come, first serve! Event ends at 8:00pm.

Here's what to expect:

• Engaging science, minus the jargon: For about 20 minutes, a Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory scientist shares their research and recent discoveries in a way that’s accessible, engaging, and designed for a general audience — no science background required.
• Interactive Q&A: After the talk, stick around to ask questions, dig deeper into the topic, and join the conversation with the scientist and fellow attendees.
• Cold drinks: Enjoy a wide selection of beverages available for purchase from Six Harbors Brewing Company. With a brewery downstairs and a distillery upstairs, there’s no shortage of seasonal beers, cocktails, and other favorites to choose from.
• Fun raffle: Upon arrival, guests can enter a raffle for a chance to win CSHL merch or a themed prize tied to the evening’s talk — a small but fun way to end the night.

Cheers to science!
