PRO-SCIENCE
These sources consist of legitimate science or are evidence-based through credible scientific sourcing. Legitimate science follows the scientific method, is unbiased, and does not use emotional words. These sources also respect the consensus of experts in the given scientific field and strive to publish peer-reviewed science. Some sources in this category may have a slight political bias but adhere to scientific principles. See all Pro-Science sources.
- Overall, we rate Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory as a pro-science source based on the publication of evidence-based research and information.

As a research institution, CSHL’s main output includes scientific research and educational content rather than news or media articles. Therefore, it doesn’t fit the typical criteria for political bias. The institution’s focus is on scientific advancement and education in biological sciences. However, it’s important to note that the content and focus areas of research might reflect the institution’s priorities within the scope of biological sciences.
