From Scientist to Entrepreneur and back again

Most people go into graduate school assuming they'll become professors and rarely look around at other opportunities. In this talk I'll go over my rather meandering career path that at first brought me away from science and eventually brought me back to leading a team of physicists and engineers working on cutting edge science. I'll try to elucidate what tidbits of career advice I have garnered and espouse the hard truth, that no matter what career path you take, you'll still probably end up writing grants and proposals.
