Mr. Micklos joined Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory in 1982, founding its public affairs and development departments. In 1988, he founded the DNA Learning Center (DNALC) in 1988 as the world’s first science center devoted to genetics education. His textbook DNA Science helped catalyze the movement to bring hands-on experiments with DNA into American high school and beginning college classrooms. Recently, he has focused on developing Internet resources for biology education. The Internet sites of the DNALC – including DNA from the Beginning, Your Genes-Your Health, Image Archive on the American Eugenics Movement, Genetic Origins, and DNA Interactive – receive four million visitors per year. Mr. Micklos' work is supported by major grants from the National Institutes of Health, National Science Foundation, and Howard Hughes Medical Institute. In 1990, he received the Charles A. Dana Award for Pioneering Achievement in Higher Education. Currently, he is collaborating with a number of organizations to expand the DNALC concept to other sites in the U.S., Europe, and Asia.
