Summary
Deep in the shadowy corridors of laboratories and the silent pages of medical journals, progress can falter, not for lack of brilliance, but because of the systems surrounding it. Ideas are delayed, discoveries are hidden, and bold thinking is quietly discouraged. This is Crimes Against Innovation. Join Professor Maddie Parsons and Dr Graham Price as they go head-to-head on two major offenders in healthcare innovation. Maddie argues that playing it safe and avoiding high-risk research is suppressing transformative breakthroughs, while Graham challenges that the bigger crime is secrecy in science - a true assassin of progress. Host Nicola Hill weighs the evidence and delivers the verdict on which of these “crimes” does the greatest damage to discovery. This podcast is produced and funded by UCB. Hosted on Acast.
