When I just came to CSHL, there're already several established scientists ruthlessly leaving the beautiful place. Where did they go? Janelia Farm. The post docs are so surprised when finding that I've no idea about this Holy Land of biomedical research. They can't help to describe how cool it is, which to me, was like a legend.
No wonder the most alluring thing is the full support from HHMI. You keep a small lab, you just need to stay in the lab, focusing on your experiments and search peer papers. No need to worry about funding, no need to worry about how can I my postdoc. You just need to do your science, pure science, completely science! And the transparent structure of the building construction, you see it? I love that! I have stayed in the department office for 1 year, you know how it's like, no windows, the only outlet is the door, small room, all walls surrouding, no difference in day and night, dead silence if you close the door and shut down all the machines, you know what's that like? A jail.
Oh, there's a 5 minutes documentation available.
Description about Jenelia Farm:
We aim to identify important biomedical problems for which future progress requires technological innovation and then we foster the establishment of integrated teams of biologists and tool builders who seek to break through existing barriers.
two synergistic areas that are particularly well matched to the Janelia Farm environment:
1. The identification of general principles that govern how information is processed by neuronal circuits
2. The development of imaging technologies and computational methods for image analysis

Graduate Program:
The Howard Hughes Medical Institute offers two programs leading to the Ph.D. based at its Janelia Farm Research Campus, in partnership with the universities of Cambridge and Chicago. These accelerated programs are designed for a small number of well-prepared, highly committed, and gifted students. We offer opportunities for interdisciplinary research in an intense environment.
People from CSHL:
Karel Svoboda
The marks building becomes so empty as he left. The good thing is the whole floor become Tony and Zach's. When I rotate there, I was always the only one on the first floor which originally was his lab. Heard of a lot about him, he is a very positive, active, and creative scientist, in everyone's eys.
Dmitri B. Chklovskii
I remember he do computational neuroscience.
Alla Y. Karpova
It surprised me so much when finding that she came here. Actually in marks building, her bench is just opposite to my bench. Funny enough that I met her first when I was doing experiments in one midnight, she gave me a shock when she appeared and went by quickly. Later I joined the farewell party for her.
