We learned on a lobster boat tour from Captain John about the great medical research occurring at…read moreJackson Laboratory in Bar Harbor, Maine. He told us about the 28 Nobel Prize winners connected with Jackson Labs and recommended taking a tour of the lab. We took a tour the next day. What a great place. It reminded me of other upper echelon academic institutes - MIT, CalTech, Stanford, Chicago. The campus is well situated in the seaside hills just outside the little town of Bar Harbor. The buildings and facilities are state of the art. Peaking through the windows of lab doors confirmed there is a lot of research activity taking place here. What's even more interesting about this place is that they also raise and sell laboratory mice to research labs across America. Their website explains it all. This was a nice addition to my visits to other halls of academia. I definitely recommend a visit.
