Summary
In this special Crimes Against Innovation episode, host Nicola Hill hears two charges against the research system. Professor Raj Chovatiya argues that the academic model is putting the brakes on innovation, squeezing creativity and collaboration. Meanwhile, Dr Joe Rastrick condemns the irreproducible published study, which can misdirect future research and waste resources. Join the debate and decide which crime should carry the greater sentence. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacyhttps://acast.com/privacy for more information.
