This is a free, in-person talk hosted on January 29, 2026 at 5:30 PM by the Little Chute Public Library. No registration is necessary to attend.

A biological journey of discovery from the shaping of the Great Lakes by the glaciers, to human alternations, and into the future climate.

He has a B.A. in Biology from Lawrence University and a Ph.D. in Biology from McMaster University. His past fish research took him to all five Great Lakes as well as the southern Great Plains. Seilheimer has spent more than 100 days on Lake Michigan commercial fishing boats since 2015. He lives in Manitowoc, WI where he enjoys spending time exploring the local coast with his family and setting out on long bike rides with no planned route.
