During his lecture, Eriksen will share how a decade of research on plastics in the world's oceans began in Lake Itasca in Minnesota at the headwaters of the Mississippi River. The five-month drift to the Gulf of Mexico launched the 5 Gyres Institute, co-founded by Eriksen and his wife, Anna Cummins, to research the plastic pollution problem and advocate for solutions. Their discovery of plastic microbeads in the Great Lakes led to the 2015 Microbead-Free Waters Act.

For more than 50 years, The Lettermen have kept the meaning of harmony alive with their soft, romantic, harmonic blend of music, which is as popular with their fans today as it was in 1961 when they recorded their first hit, "The Way You Look Tonight." Soft, melodic and romantic, the song was a departure from the rock 'n' roll music of the day. The group's second single that year did even better. "When I Fall In Love," another soft, slow ballad, hit No.7, establishing The Lettermen as the most romantic singing group of a generation.
