Check out our new publication (w/@inaganguli @Dasgupta_Psych ) in Research Policy. Where we focus on academic researchers in STEM. What drives them to transform their research into startups? 🚀
Have you wondered what makes people want to become entrepreneurs? Start their own business? @inaganguli @AprilBurrage & I asked this question in the context of researchers in science, engineering, and technology & their student trainees.

It is with deep sadness that we share the passing of Maj. Gen. Joseph McNeil, one of the legendary members of the A&T Four. Maj. Gen. McNeil passed away this morning at the age of 83. 🎨 @burton_designs_

Great asset from @AmirSariri @wytham88 @avicgoldfarb & CDL for studying entrepreneurship! I put together an early version of this dataset in 2016; now it's super clean data from a whole team on high-growth startups incl. qualitative goals/activity in panel form. So good!

I think I may have finally figured out a workflow that is actually sustainable post graduate school.

Shout out to my LS for being on top of getting the tickets, when I tried, the sites were crashing or had me stuck in the queue. #GHOE

The Friday day party better not disappoint this year. I like going to the pop up shop on Friday so if it’s not good this year, I might skip the day party next time and just hit the Bonfire. So we shall see...so glad hunger games is over #GHOE

The party defenders… don’t miss people’s message. No one is upset that there are levels of pricing. The pricing range and the # of tickets available at each price point are the challenges. Can you with a straight face say you think an outdoor GHOE party is worth $180?

We've reached a point where the use of em dashes (—) is likely a sign that the text, email, or written document you're reading was created with an AI tool.

I forgot Boston has all these loops. In an uber and I thought the driver was going in circles and got lost but it’s actually the directions. We are headed in the right direction.

Great thread on my latest paper!
What happens when scholars get canceled? They end up publishing fewer papers and they receive fewer citations. In other words, scientific productivity falls🧵

Too few people appreciate this incredibly important fact and I often have to remind science funders (and myself) of it

Last Thursday in my Social Entrepreneurship class (MS&E 176), students heard from @apgoldst of @PrimeCoalition on catalytic capital & impact investing, and from Miz Bernardo on public speaking. Grateful for their insights! #SocialEntrepreneurship #Stanford

Praying for those affected and the greater Tallahassee community. My brother is a graduate student at FSU. He is ok and was not on campus at the time. #FSU

Started teaching my Social Entrepreneurship course today! Over the next 10 weeks, students will design ventures that tackle real-world challenges—combining innovation with impact. Guest speakers from the field are joining too. Can’t wait to share more at the end of the quarter!
