Artist and marine biologist Guy Harvey painted his first sea creature in school while illustrating Ernest Hemingway's "The Old Man and the Sea." In this inspirational talk, he describes how -- despite an intervening PhD in marine biology -- those early forays into painting drew him away from academia and into a lifelong dedication to causes of marine conservation and education.
