On October 5, Georgia Tech students and members of the Atlanta metro area community gathered for the keystone Innovation Unscripted panel event. The panel discussion connected innovators, business owners, and investors in Biotech with undergraduate students, young professionals, and the general public. The fireside-chat style panel discussed what it takes to succeed in the industry, the breadth of careers in Biotech, and the future of the field.

This panel of Biotech and Business experts featured Dr. Ted Love, Dr. Tia Lyles-Williams, and Brad Hartman. The experts spoke to students about their challenges and triumphs, as well as how students could get involved in Biotech or start their own businesses. The discussion explored the Experts’ careers and passions, showing students that the humans behind the greatest scientific achievements in our lifetime are also people with success, failure, relationships, and community.

This event took place at the Atlantic Theater in the John Lewis Student Center on Georgia Tech’s Campus. The NSTMF thanks Black Women in Science and Engineering (BWISE) for their work and partnership to make this event happen.
