A Life Aquatic: 40 Years Revealing the Underwater World of Odors

Dr. Paul Moore, a researcher and instructor at the University of Michigan Biological Station (UMBS) who has been doing research at the UMBS Stream Lab for 28 years, is kicking off the 2025 Summer Lecture Series at the research and teaching campus nestled along Douglas Lake in Pellston, Michigan.

Moore, who also is a professor at Bowling Green State University, will give a talk titled “A Life Aquatic: 40 Years Revealing the Underwater World of Odors.”

The U-M Biological Station — the largest of U-M's campuses at more than 10,000 forested acres surrounded by lakes — is one of the nation's largest and longest continuously operating field research stations.

Founded in 1909, the Biological Station supports long-term research and education. It is where students and scientists from across the globe live and work as a community to learn from the place.

The Summer Lecture Series is a tradition at UMBS, where we explore scientific topics with distinguished guest speakers from across the country so our community can learn about our natural world.

The free, public talks are on Wednesdays from 7 to 8 p.m. in the spring and summer in Gates Lecture Hall at the University of Michigan Biological Station, located at 9133 Biological Rd. in Pellston, Michigan — about 20 miles south of the Mackinac Bridge.
