Eugene F. Stoermer (1934–2012)

EUGENE F. STOERMER (1934–2012)

After a nearly 2-year battle with esophageal cancer, the world of diatom and phycological research lost one of its leaders, Eugene Filmore Stoermer. Gene left a remarkable impact, in quality and quantity, in the training and placing of students and research productivity, in the fields of freshwater ecology, paleolimnology and diatom taxonomy and systematics. Gene's life and times were chronicled recently in a warm tribute paid by Gene's first student (Andresen 2009). Here, we offer several remembrances about the man and his significance, as well as a complete bibliography of his published works and patrionyms dedicated to him.

First and foremost, Gene had high standards for research. While he was an encouraging mentor, research projects from Gene's lab had to pass the high standard he had for himself and his students. This was acknowledged broadly, and Gene's intellect, expertise and high standards were called upon all over the world, as a collaborator, external reviewer and mentor (in Russia, China, Scandanavia, India and across Europe). Many of the collaborators made their way to Ann Arbor, and Gene's students were able to meet and talk with many of the top researchers in the world. Evidence of his high level of research could be found in the number, diversity and dollar value of the many grants he received to pursue his research interests and ambition. And this high standard for his students led to many of them receiving job offers, as Gene placed students in academia, research scientist positions and federal and local agency leaders. At one time, Gene's students curated the two major diatom collections in the USA (Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia (ANSP) and California Academy of Sciences (CAS)).

Gene provided tremendous support for his students. This support and loyalty to his students was expressed in the levels of financial support he generated for them. Gene's appointment at the University of Michigan was initially as a research scientist in the Great Lakes Research Division, and it was difficult if not nearly impossible for him to have students. Subsequently he had appointments in the School of Natural Resources (later to have ‘and the Environment’ added to its title) and University Herbarium, and Gene's ability to chair committees was established. Since few of his students had teaching assistantships, this meant acquiring research assistantship money to support his large lab. In addition to the financial support he provided, his example was a great one for students to emulate, and nearly everyone who graduated with Gene produced grant applications (many of them successful) at some level. Gene was fiercely loyal to his students, which meant supporting them intellectually in the rigorous (and sometimes combative) environment that was the University of Michigan. Legions were some of the debates amongst freshwater biologists at Michigan, in which students sometimes waded. Gene was there to lend his intellectual weight and confidence to support students and colleagues in these interesting discussions. Finally, Gene's support came from promoting his students after they had fledged from the ‘Phyto Lab’ by writing numerous letters, and suggesting students for prestigious positions in societies and meetings. And Gene's impact went far beyond Michigan. He taught ‘Systematics and Ecology of Freshwater Diatoms’ at Iowa Lakeside Lab to many students from around the country, served on many committees of students around the world, and near the end of his career was a mentor to students during an annual sojourn to Shanghai Normal University.

When it came to new tools and approaches, Gene was an early adopter. He had some of the first computers offered to the general public, and supported programming and development with main frames for databasing and analysis. A story is told that a family trip was delayed a couple of years so that he could acquire one of the new Apple computers. He abhorred anecdotal science, and worked with a variety of math and engineering students to seek more quantifiable approaches not only to ecology, but also taxonomy and systematics. He was a pioneer in the use of transmission electron microscopy, with Ryan Drum and Stuart Pankratz, to describe the cytoplasmic features of diatom cells. His work with shape analysis and principal components analysis, across different taxonomic groups and approaches, was the primary or secondary interest of many of his students. He was also a pioneer in paleolimnology (the subject of his PhD research). He embraced email early and was an active correspondent every day, even up to 3 days before his passing. It turns out that his voluminous work on the computer was meticulously backed up and documented.

Gene was a nature lover, although not of the ‘tree hugging’ type. Early pictures of him in rural Iowa show a boy thoroughly enjoying the outdoors. Although prone to seasickness he enjoyed cruises on the Great Lakes, and was at home at biological field stations. He loved fieldwork, and with his family he was known as a ‘tent camper’ that is, when camping the family always used old fashioned tents, and more modern approaches to getting back to nature were scorned. He took his young family on a 3-week camping trip across Canada to attend an important algae meeting in Newfoundland.

Finally, Gene had a sharp memory and was extremely knowledgeable about the history of diatom research as well as the most up-to-date publications. Through his early work and extended relationship with two other famous American diatomists, Ruth Patrick and Charlie Reimer, both of the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia, and the rich library resources of the University of Michigan, Gene had access to some of the most extensive literature (early publications, across many authors, years and topics), and he was able to recall the publications themselves, and some of the most fine points of the publications. He was also called upon to review many manuscripts, and was one of the founding editors of Diatom Research. It was like having specialized Google searches on topics of Great Lakes limnology, algal ecology and diatom taxonomy and systematics, except that Gene's recall of the older literatures always surpassed any current electronic search engine. He was a bibliophile, but did not own a large personal library (except for his reprint collection), since he had access to many volumes through his work environments.

Gene had a very large personal diatom collection (over 10 000 unique collections, which included slides and raw material) and reprint collection, both of which were contributed to the Diatom Collection of the California Academy of Sciences in San Francisco. Some of his permanent slides of Great Lakes phytoplankton (filter paper mounted onto oversized slides with large coverslips, in clove oil, creating a smell that permeated the Phyto Lab, and something many of us can still recall vividly and fondly) are at Michigan State University in the laboratory of R. Jan Stevenson. Gene contributed his types and other slides to ANSP, and a few slides and samples are in the collection of J.P. Kociolek at the University of Colorado, Boulder.

Gene was one of the visionary and intellectual leaders in the study of algae and diatoms in North America. He was at the same time pragmatic and plain spoken. He was keenly smart, and was knowledgeable about many subjects. He took about 25 journals and scientific magazines each month, which he read religiously, even near the end of his life. He was a true scientist. Popper's (1959) definition of a scientist seems to fit Gene well. Popper wrote, ‘It is not the possession of knowledge, of irrefutable truths that constitutes the man of science, but the disinterested incessant search for truth.’ He was a true academic, in the most positive usage of that term. He had a disdain for academic authority, and was blunt about his thoughts of most academic administrators. While he suffered no fools, he was genuinely a kind and generous person (nearly every one of his students enjoyed holiday meals with Gene and his family). It was a natural process for many of us to know him first as a teacher and leader in the field, to become a collaborator with him, and to know him as a close friend. In each and every one of those ways, we will miss him.
