Paul A MooreDr. Paul A. Moore has been studying animal perception and aquatic ecology for the past 30 years. Having grown up in Michigan, he moved to Cape Cod for his Ph.D. in marine biology. From there, he spent time at the University of Colorado Health ScienceCenter and the Monell Chemical Senses Center in Philadelphia before becoming a faculty member at Bowling Green State University. He is most at home in the fens, bogs, marshes, rivers, and lakes of northern Michigan where he teaches and does his research. The weird and wild nature of animals found in those habitats spawned his interest in life on other planets and his creation of unique final exams created the world's of the Cadineag series.

When not in the field, he can be found in the kitchen baking bread, in the dojo practicing martial arts, or on the hunt for the world's great ciders and meads.

He is the author of two popular science books, published by Springer: The Hidden Power of Smell (2015) and The Illusive World (2019), which covers the sense of smell (first book) and other senses (second book) of various animals in nature. Read More Read Less
