A Case For Oil 

 with George Mock and Peter Tyack 

 

Blubber was removed from whales, rendered and sold as the oil used for
light, heat, tanning and other products.  But what about products made
from the oil found in the melon of toothed whales?  What's its function
in the lives of odontocetes, especially the sperm whale?  
 
George Mock, Treasurer and Chairman of the Board, and former President
of Nye Lubricants, Inc., successfully guided his company through the
transition from natural to synthetic oils. His presentation will focus
on the 160 year-old company's use of melon and sperm case oil in its
product lines prior to the 1970s.
 
Peter Tyack, is Senior Scientist, Biology Department and Director of the
Marine Mammal Center at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. He
studies social behavior and acoustic communication in whales and
dolphins and will share the results of his research, which has given us
a greater understanding of the function and form of the sperm whale's
case.

 

The lecture starts at 7:30 pm in the Museum Theater.

A reception at 6:30 pm is held in the Jacobs Family Gallery before the
lecture.

Admission is FREE.
