I suppose it's that time of the week. Without further delay I present today's mystery campus:

And the hint:
Little Droplet of Lard
How to get in?
It'll take a tag-team effort!
Know what any of this means? Or the identity of the mystery campus? Well then leave a…
As we correct for the earth's rotation by adding a leap day, I'll add an extra campus to this week's edition of Map That Campus. (Yes two for the price of one!)
Here's the first mystery campus:
And below the fold is the second mystery campus:

Well you guys have been pretty good at guessing the mystery campus. But in addition I'd like you to tell me the answer to the riddle/hint. (Last week no one really explained what the first part of the riddle meant - even after Bil posted an additional hint in the comment section.)
So here is this…
OK here is the satelite photo:

Here is the hint:
Cells Divide, but sometimes they Can't
What is the mystery campus? And what in the world does the hint mean?
(BTW last week's hint is still up for grabs ... there are plenty of clues in the comments.)
Columbia University Medical Ctr - 168th st and Broadway.

that's my guess, anyhow.

Wow you're good at this. Another aspect of DNA that was first noted at Columbia medical center was Chargaff's rules (named after Erwin Chargaff of Columbia U.) ... thus the [A]=[T], [C]=[G].
The DNA transfection paper:
Wigler, M., Pellicer, A., Silverstein, S. and Axel, R. Biochemical transfer of single-copy eukaryotic genes using total cellular DNA as donor. Cell (1978)14:725¿731
Right, Chargaff - I hadn't been aware that he was at Columbia.
Fun game btw - to keep it fun for others I'll "cool my heels" a bit. I guess I just have a head full of information, as well as experience visiting a number of campuses.
all the best

Manhattan is also pretty easy to pick up from an aerial photo.
Not so sure about that - it's kind of green for the Big Apple.
Well I can ask another question, based on this aerial photo. What Campus lies just north of this photo? In fact part of this 2nd mystery campus is just visible in the photo ... right where the "hybrid" panel is.
