Leveraging the Scientific Mindset in the Business World
Thursday, May 13, 2010
The New York Academy of Sciences
Paul Tumpowsky, Chairman of InSITE, will discuss the challenges, risks and blessings of the scientific mindset in the business world. The discussion will cover ways scientists can leverage this perspective to successfully navigate these environments and produce positive results, whether remaining in science or transitioning into a business-oriented career.
Paul will also introduce InSITE and the ways that, for more than a decade, some of New York's most talented graduate students, dedicated to entrepreneurship, technology and venture capital, have advised New York entrepreneurs in the development of their businesses, supported venture investors, and gained exposure to the entrepreneurial community.
Following the discussion several current members of InSITE’s student leadership, alumni of the group and Board members will be in attendance to meet and network with Science Alliance participants.
