C-STAR Webinar: The "Business" of the Science Business
DESCRIPTION
Scientists are taught the intricacies of experimental methods to probe complex systems with the goal being discovery. However, the daily practice of science is a business, and, as with any business, scientists have marketing, public relations, research & development, distribution, finance and strategy considerations, just to name a few. Unfortunately, these areas (except for R&D) are not part of the typical PhD education but will be the subject of this on-demand webinar.
