Fledgling entrepreneurs in retirement eager to keep costs down may benefit from starting small, says Kimberly A. Eddleston, a professor of entrepreneurship and innovation at Northeastern University and a senior editor on the EIX Editorial Board.

“The 95 cases we have–that’s where Italy was at two weeks ago,” said Sam Scarpino, an assistant professor of network science who heads the epidemics lab at Northeastern University. “They have 12,000 cases as of this morning, and their hospitals are overrun.”
