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.
