C O R R I G E N D A A N D E R R ATA Erratum: Biotech entrepreneur, educate thyself! Emily Waltz Bioentrepreneur, published online 15 December 2005, corrected 27 March 2006; doi:10.1038/bioent896 © 2006 Nature Publishing Group http://www.nature.com/naturebiotechnology In the online version of this article (paragraph 4), Chad Walton is incorrectly said to have graduated from a dual-degree program. The text should read, “…Chad Walton, who received a master of biomedical technology (MBT) from the University of Calgary….” The program with the eight students he is referring to is the MBT program, not the dual-degree program. The MBT program does, however, have a business component. The error has been corrected in the HTML version of the article.
