Color Change & Patterning in Ocean Animals: Science, Art and 
Technology with Roger Hanlon
Roger T. Hanlon, a dynamic speaker, will give a talk called "Color 
Change and Patterning in Ocean Animals; Science, Art and Technology" 
providing the lay public with answers to questions that first began 
to bubble to the surface when he was an undergraduate, visiting his 
brother in Panama. He was snorkeling when he was startled by a chance 
encounter with a Panamanian octopus. If he took his eye off of it for 
a moment, he lost sight of it, which made Hanlon think, "This is 
really cool. How can this animal do this, changing its pattern as it 
goes? So I went back to college just mesmerized. And I'm still 
mesmerized by it," he said.
Roger T. Hanlon, is the Sr. Scientist at the Marine Biological 
Laboratory, Woods Hole; Director, Program in Sensory Physiology & 
Behavior at MBL; and Professor (MBL) of Ecology and Evolutionary 
Biology, Brown University. and is one of the leading authorities on 
the camouflage behavior of cephalopods-a class of mollusks that 
includes squid, octopus and cuttlefish.
