Marine Biological Laboratory
Through Lincoln’s partnership with Marine Biological Laboratory, Upper School biology students head to the world-renowned research facility in Woods Hole for a few days and jump feet first into dynamic and hands-on scientific experiences. Through Lincoln’s unique partnership with MBL, Lincoln students & faculty are immersed in learning lab techniques, performing experiments, and hearing from researchers who are leaders in their field. Past classes have included: Anatomy & Physiology of Aquatic Animals, CRISPR/CAS9 Genome Editing of Aquatic and Marine Organisms, and Exploring Hidden Biodiversity with DNA Sequencing.
World Class Scientific Research
The Marine Biological Laboratory course teachers are some of the most experienced researchers in their field. Students have the chance to work in MBL labs on complex scientific processes, such as dissecting vertebrate and invertebrate species, calibrating and using pico-liter injectors, and running a PCR on DNA from collected water samples, giving them a glimpse into world-class scientific research.
Our students have the opportunity to engage in cutting edge research and work with world class scientists. More importantly, they build their passion for science and ability to see themselves as scientists beyond the walls of Lincoln.
