Nevada Small Business Development Center at the University of Nevada, Reno, has scheduled a free one-day workshop, "Business Planning for Scientists and Engineers," in Reno on Thursday.

The workshop will be taught by Fred Patterson, a Texas businessman who founded two successful Small Business Innovation Research award-winning companies (SPEC and Radiant Photonics) and worked as a consultant to companies that received more than 150 SBIR and STTR contracts and grants.
