Jay Harman and Francesca Bertone--Biomimicry Inspiring Innovation

Jay Harman, author of The Shark's Paintbrush, and his wife, Francesca Bertone, will share ways in which they and others have been inspired by Nature to solve some of the world's intractable problems.. Jay is an award-winning entrepreneur and biomimetic inventor who has taken a hands-on approach to his life-long fascination with the deep patterns found in nature. In addition, he started a boarding school to teach kids about the environment in Australia, became a champion skin diver, and has made it his mission to bring the awareness and application of biomimicry to the public. Jay's goal--both as an author and an entrepreneur--is to show industry that improving the efficiency of industrial equipment is beneficial for both the bottom line and the planet.
