Episode 1 (BONUS): Crimes Against Innovation - The Milestone Menace vs. The Hunger for Innovation14 Apr 202516 min

Deep in the shadowy corridors of laboratories and the silent pages of medical journals, secrets lie waiting to be uncovered—tales of ambition that soared too high to the sun, ideas that derailed progress, and innovations that should never have seen the light of day. This is—Crimes Against Innovation.

In this episode, Professor Russ Altman and Dr. Alistair Henry go head-to-head as they debate two major issues in healthcare innovation. Russ argues that rigid milestones in research hinder scientific creativity, while Alistair contends that over-resourcing stifles innovation. Host Nicola Hill decides which of these “crimes” deserves the title of the worst offender.
