Investigative Biology Teaching Laboratories at Cornell University

The Investigative Biology Teaching Laboratories are located at Cornell University on the first floor Comstock Hall. They are well-equipped biology teaching laboratories used to provide hands-on laboratory experience to Cornell undergraduate students. Currently, they are the home of the Investigative Biology Laboratory Course,[1] (BioG1500[2]), and frequently being used by the Cornell Institute for Biology Teachers,[3] the Disturbance Ecology course[4] and Insectapalooza.[5] In the past the Investigative Biology Teaching Laboratories hosted the laboratory portion of the Introductory Biology Course with the course number of Bio103-104 (renumbered to BioG1103-1104).

The Investigative Biology Teaching Laboratories house the Science Communication and Public Engagement Undergraduate Minor.[6]
