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.
