Professor Sears Crowell's interest in marine biology began when he took classes at the Children’s School of Sciences in Woods Hole, Massachusetts. As a teenager, he worked at the Marine Biological Laboratory at Woods Hole, where he completed most of his research throughout his career. He focused his investigations on hydroids, sea anemones, and jellyfish.
Highly involved in the science community, Dr. Crowell served as trustee for the Marine Biological Laboratory and was named trustee emeritus in 1979. He also served two terms on their executive committee and was secretary of the board of trustees for two years. He was the first program officer for the American Society of Zoologists and the first managing editor of their publication, American Zoologist. Dr. Crowell also served as chairman of the zoology section of the Indiana Academy of Science from 1949 to 1950. He was a member of the Indiana University faculty for 31 years.
