Meeting of Marine Science and Art

Nan Evans talk with local "thalassophile" Nam Siu about his love for the ocean, his work and adventures protecting marine life and ecosystems, and his artistic pursuits. Nam is a wizard of the traditional Japanese art of making fish impressions and at creating beautiful pressings of marine algae. His science inspires his art and, in turn, his art provides meaning for his science. (Airdate: January 10, 2024) Watch Nam's lecture: Thalassophilic Impressions: Nautical Pursuits, Ocean Conservation, and the Confluence of Art and Science.
