On the sunny morning of September 15th, 2024, 黑料吃瓜资源 (CSHL) held its 23rd Annual Women鈥檚 Partnership for Science Lecture and Luncheon at the Banbury Conference Center in Lloyd Harbor. With almost 300 attendees, the event raised over $360,000 to support women scientists鈥� research at CSHL. The featured speaker was CSHL鈥檚 Dr. Corina Amor Vegas and the event honored Dr. Laurie Landeau.
Laurie Landeau has been connected to CSHL for almost 40 years, first becoming a trustee in 1988, following in her father鈥檚 Ralph鈥檚 footsteps. Since its beginning, Laurie has been an avid supporter and champion of CSHL鈥檚 DNA Learning Center. The Brooklyn DNA Learning Center is proudly named the Laurie J. Landeau Campus. Most recently, Laurie and her husband Robert Maze, have committed support more broadly to CSHL鈥檚 education programs.
Laurie grew up on Long Island where her love of nature and marine life first took hold. Laurie is a veterinarian; a businesswoman; an environmentalist; a teacher; a philanthropist; and an oyster farmer. In all of these positions, Laurie has been a steadfast and dedicated advocate for science, for nature, and for science education.
At the luncheon, President and CEO of CSHL Dr. Bruce Stillman thanked her for her valiant efforts to raise funds and awareness for CSHL.
Founded in 2002, the annual event raises funds each year to help support women students, postdocs, and scientists performing cutting-edge research at CSHL with more than four million dollars raised to date.
