IN CONVERSATION WITH JAY HARMAN 

Jay Harman has taken a hands-on approach to his lifelong fascination with the forces of nature and specifically with natural fluid systems. In the process, he has grown companies that design innovative products, ranging from prize-winning watercraft called the WildThing and the Goggleboat, to a medical research company that developed a non-invasive technology for measuring blood glucose, to his latest company, PAX Scientific. PAX designs more efficient industrial equipment such as fans, mixers, and pumps based on Harman's revolutionary concepts. He is a serial entrepreneur and a principled inventor whose upcoming book "The Shark's Paintbrush" is a field guide to biomimicry for all designers, biologists and entrepreneurs.
