DESCRIPTION:Professor Christopher Hayter will discuss graduate experience
 s of participating in entrepeneurship training for research commercializ
 ation\n\nDeveloping entrepreneurial selves: The experience of graduate s
 tudents and postdocs participating in entrepreneurship training for rese
 arch commercialization\n\nProfessor Christopher Hayter\, Jimmy and Rosal
 ynn Carter School of Public Policy\, Georgia Institute of Technology ask
 s\, How do academic scientists\, trained to think like researchers\, com
 e to see themselves as entrepreneurs? Drawing on a longitudinal study of
  38 graduate students and postdoctoral researchers in the U.S. National 
 Science Foundation I-Corps program\, we frame entrepreneurship training 
 as an identity-related process. Scientists in these programs discover no
 t just whether a market exists for their technology\, but whether entrep
 reneurship is right for them.\n\nScientists enter these programs with va
 gue\, romanticized visions of entrepreneurship built from academic and p
 opular culture rather than commercial reality. Customer discovery forces
  participants to face less glamourous realities. Some emerge with a clea
 rer\, more grounded sense of themselves as entrepreneurs and pursue vent
 ure creation. Others conclude\, with equal clarity\, that entrepreneursh
 ip is not their path. Both outcomes represent success\, and designing an
 d evaluating entrepreneurship programs without an identity lens means ov
 erlooking how these interventions may transform who scientists think the
 y can become.\n\nAbout Chris Hayter:\n\nChris Hayter is an Associate Pro
 fessor in the Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter School of Public Policy at the G
 eorgia Institute of Technology. His research examines entrepreneurial be
 havior among early-career scientists\, non-academic career transitions a
 mong university postdocs\, and the performance of academic entrepreneurs
 hip support programs. Before joining Georgia Tech\, Chris spent nine yea
 rs on faculty at Arizona State University and 16 years working as a scie
 nce and entrepreneurship policy advisor with organizations including the
