Once on the street level, taxis are available in front of the Hyatt hotel. We are not concerned with the cost savings of metro-riding, please only take the metro if you enjoy exploring public transportation. 

 

Arriving at HHMI

If the gate is closed, press the assistance button and state that you are here for the Deep Teaching Workshop and they will open the gate.
