Caryl Parker Haskins (1908 - 2001)^[1][2] was a scientist, author, inventor, philanthropist, governmental advisor and pioneering entomologist in the study of ant biology ^[2]. In the 1930s he was inspired by Alfred Lee Loomis to establish his own research facility^[3]. Along with Franklin S. Cooper, he founded the Haskins Laboratories, a private, non-profit research laboratory, in 1935. Affiliated with Harvard University, MIT, and Union College in Schenectady, NY, Haskins conducted research in microbiology, radiation physics, and other fields in Cambridge, MA and Schenectady. In 1939 Haskins Laboratories moved its center to New York City. Seymour Hutner[1] joined the staff to set up a research program in microbiology, genetics, and nutrition. The descendant of this program[2] is now part of Pace University in New York. In the 1940s Luigi Provasoli[3] joined the Laboratories to set up a research program in marine biology which disbanded with his retirement in 1978. Since the 1950s, the main focus of the research of Haskins Laboratories has been on speech and its biological basis. The main facility of Haskins Laboratories moved to New Haven, Connecticut in 1970 where it entered into affiliation agreements with Yale University and the University of Connecticut.
