Part of being an entrepreneur in any field, whether it's in science or business, is being willing to take on risk. While
tenure-track faculty and staff enjoy knowing their jobs are secure, "soft money" scientists – those funded through

entrepreneurship skills naturally, taking on risk becomes an avenue for creating dynamic new collaborations and
partnerships, such as the work he is doing with Dr. Jan Newton.
