Saloni Dattani, author of the
Scientific Discovery Substack and
founding editor of Works in Progress
magazine, joins Infinite Loops to discuss why medical
innovation is often much slower than it needs to be.
We explore why so much research still begins in animal models, how
poor data distorts our understanding of disease, why clinical
trials are one of the biggest bottlenecks in medicine, and how
better systems could help promising treatments reach patients
faster.
