SUMMARY:Entrepreneurship in the Physical Sciences\, Graduate Program E
 vent\, Thomas Rockwell Mackie\, Emeritus Professor\, University of Wis
 consin\, Madison
DESCRIPTION:Academic physicists and the others in physical sciences ha
 ve been important contributors for decades of ideas for commerce\, inc
 luding those resulting in new Wisconsin companies. Academic entreprene
 urship enriches teaching\, research\, and is inherently service to the
  communities in which physics departments exist\, the nation and even 
 the world. There is a great difference between academic and commercial
  culture that must be understood to be successful and cultural differe
 nces will be highlighted throughout the lecture and will begin by desc
 ribing the motivation\, ideation\, and creation of a physicist-entrepr
 eneur\, Albert Einstein\, about a century ago. Particle accelerator de
 velopments during the 20th century provide examples of the cross-talk 
 between academic physics and the medical industry. The 20th century be
 ing the Physics Century is highlighted by the story of the rise of the
  planet’s major entrepreneurial hub\, Silicon Valley\, surrounding S
 tanford. The rise of entrepreneurial biotechnology is heralding in the
  21st century as the Biology Century\, but there are still many exciti
 ng opportunities for products and services based on physics and biophy
 sics yet to come.
