My background is in biochemistry, and I know a lot of professors who would love to be starting up companies, and even have started companies, but they don't ever really get any traction because they just don't have the time to dedicate to it. Maybe the increased research and teaching requirements at universities have precluded that, I'm not sure. Maybe freeing them up three months a year would actually do something like that. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2962128\" data-originallang=\"en\"> I think the desire is there.</p>",

Bien des professeurs de biochimie aimeraient lancer des compagnies, et certains l'ont fait, mais ils n'ont simplement pas le temps n\u00e9cessaire \u00e0 y consacrer. C'est peut-\u00eatre \u00e0 cause des exigences accrues en mati\u00e8re de recherche et d'enseignement; je ne suis pas s\u00fbr. Si les professeurs \u00e9taient libres trois mois par ann\u00e9e, ils pourraient peut-\u00eatre d\u00e9marrer des entreprises.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2962128\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je pense que les professeurs sont int\u00e9ress\u00e9s.</p>"
