Presented by Dr. Suzan Shahrestani
Taking science innovation to the global market can be highly rewarding but also incredibly challenging. While scientists are welcomed into the entrepreneurial world as subject matter experts, they face a steep learning curve when it comes to understanding commercialization. Dr. Shahrestani, a recent graduate of UMCES CBL, will discuss her journey from student to start-up founder, and how her education gave her skills well suited for the aquaculture industry and opportunities for innovation.
