• W1584418058 abstract "Early this year, Harvard University president Lawrence Summers commented at a meeting that of intrinsic aptitude may help to account for the observed fact that women lag behind men in gaining prominent positions in science and engineering. The controversy that followed publication of that remark has continued unabated. it has clouded one issue. Scientists in general, and women scientists in particular, have very little experience in entrepreneurship--the type of thinking essential not only for successfully starting new companies but also for providing the risk-taking, disruptive, intrapreneurial ideas that help to provide new technical opportunities for established corporations. Most scientists are trained for academic careers and receive little or no exposure to small business careers during their formal training, says Jiahong Juda, a Ph.D. physicist with experience in the corporate and nonprofit worlds. Women, in particular, have much to contribute to and much to gain from entrepreneurship. However, women have not played a significant entrepreneurial role in advanced technology industries. The relative lack of women in that role stems from an obvious cause. Male scientists who want to become entrepreneurs or intrapreneurs generally have personal male role models whom they have known professionally and/or socially for many years, along with access to long-established networks of mentors, venture capitalists and entrepreneurs. Women rarely have that type of support from their own gender. Women make up a relatively small proportion of senior scientists and a minuscule percentage of successful entrepreneurs. In September 2000, Juda and two colleagues started Women Entrepreneurs in Science and Technology, Inc. (WEST) a nonprofit organization in the Boston area. WEST has the goal of helping women trained in science and technology to explore their strengths and passions using an entrepreneurial mind set. It provides advice to would-be entrepreneurs, intrapreneurs and scientists who want to think entrepreneurially, through workshops, networking sessions, and general advice and mentoring from the small number of women scientists who have reached prominent positions in large and small companies. There are many organizations that support women scientists and engineers, Juda says. But WEST is the only organization that focuses on the development of women in science and technology by using an entrepreneurial framework as a developmental framework. Moving into Management The founders' experiences illustrate the need for an organization such as WEST. All three had moved into corporations after receiving their Ph.D.s. Juda joined Speech Technology & Applied Research in Lexington, Massachusetts; fellow physicist Paula Wamsley, Research Electro-Optics, Inc. in Boulder, Colorado: and astronomer Barbara Whitney the Space Science Institute in Madison, Wisconsin. Juda explains that the idea for the organization came to her when she moved out of the laboratory into management at Speech Technology & Applied Optics. She realized at that point that she had little training in entrepreneurship and no female exemplars to advise her. WEST started out small, with CEO Juda running it out of her suburban Boston home in her spare time. this year, she says, moved out of the garage into a real office in Boston's Seaport area. We have taken the organization to a new level. And we are trying to make our infrastructure more solid. The group has about 250 paid-up members, a mailing list of roughly 3,000, and a website that receives between 1,500 and 2,000 hits per week. WEST's activities include talks by successful women entrepreneurs, lectures on such key issues as business law, making deals and small business grants, and workshops on activities critical to business management. For example, a workshop last November titled How to catch a curve ball involved exercises led by professional actors that sharpened participants' skills in creativity, collaboration, listening, networking, and problem solving. …" @default.
