Jason Radford
Science has fundamentally transformed society through the advent of new technologies and ideas. However, unlike the physical, biological, and computer sciences, the social and behavioral sciences do not have an established culture of turning research into ventures outside the academia. In this talk, Jason Radford, research scientist at Northeastern University and CEO of the startup Volunteer Science, will provide an overview of what it’s like creating a venture (for-profit or not-for-profit) based on social and behavioral research.
Jason Radford is the founder of the Social Design Lab. Jason graduated with a Ph.D. in sociology from the University of Chicago where he studied what makes organizations effective. He joined Northeastern in 2014 as part of David Lazer’s lab where he helped establish Volunteer Science, a platform for creating online behavioral studies and now SaaS company providing online lab facilities to researchers around the world.
