Summary:

"Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, based on Long Island, N.Y., has a long history in the world of biomedical research. It’s where Barbara McClintock made her famed discovery of transposons or 'jumping genes,' and where DNA co-discoverer James Watson was long employed.

More recently, the nonprofit research center played a major role in the Human Genome Project and launched the preprint server bioRxiv.

The lab’s president and CEO, Bruce Stillman, sat down with STAT this week to share his thoughts on everything from research funding to President Trump to open-access preprint publishing.

Below is a condensed version of the conversation, edited for clarity."
