October 30, 2019--Laurel Hollow--Governor Andrew M. Cuomo, joined by Nassau County Executive Laura Curran and Dr. Bruce Stillman, President and CEO of Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, today announced the opening of Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory's Center for Therapeutics Research on Long Island. The new center will allow the lab's world-class scientists to explore advanced therapies for genetic diseases, with a focus on cancer research. New York State awarded Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory a $25 million capital grant for the new research center, which covered full construction costs for renovating a portion of the existing Demerec Lab building. The opening of the Center for Therapeutics Research furthers Governor Cuomo's efforts to grow Long Island's thriving biotech industry and secure New York as a global leader in the field.. (Kevin P.

It's almost impossible to make out here, but atop this hill is the Horn Antenna radio telescope at Bell Labs' Crawford Hill facility that Arno Penzias and Robert Wilson used to discover the microwave background radiation that pervades the universe, helping to prove the Big Bang theory of the creation of the universe.

The Horn Antenna has been declared a National Historic Landmark, but it's still on private property, and this was about as close as I was able to get to take a look at it. Too bad.

Tried to visit (what's left of) the Bell Labs facilities in Holmdel, NJ. The Eero Saarinen-designed main office buildings seem to be closed, but for now at least are still in good repair.

The really interesting thing to me though was the radio telescope atop Telegraph Hill at their Crawford Hill facility, where Arno Penzias and Robert Wilson used the Horn Antenna to measure the cosmic microwave background raditation, and thus provided some of the first proof of the Big Bang theory of the universe.

Unfortunately, though the telescope has been established as a national historic landmark, it's still on private property, and the top of the hill is blocked from public access -- all I could get was glimpses through the trees from down the hill. Oh well.
