Giving Tuesday is a global day of giving. At the MBL, your support helps researchers make discoveries on organisms like the little skate. Did you know that the fins of fishes and the limbs in humans may have originally evolved from gill appendages like the ones found in the little skate?
We gather 1,200 scientists and students from around the world each year.
60 Nobel Prize winners have ties to the MBL.
MBL scientists have studied more than 200 different kinds of marine organisms.
The MBL hosts over 100 high school students every year.
Since 1888, the MBL has hosted thousands of researchers, students and faculty from all over the world. It is precisely this wealth in perspectives and experiences that makes our community unique. For this reason, the lab strives to maintain a welcoming environment where diverse perspectives and experiences are combined with an atmosphere of collaboration and training in efforts to advance scientific inquiry and discovery.
