Beyond Publications

Science Podcasts

As someone looking to make a real difference in the lives of patients suffering from disease , there is a lot you can do beyond publishing papers. It takes an average of 17 years to go from research finding to clinical implementation. This means that ground-breaking discoveries will not matter much if no one picks up the mantle to carry those discoveries forward. It’s hard to become the kind of leader who drives research findings forward into clinical application. It used to be that through each step of the process there were people with different skill sets and they could work in relative isolation. That’s no longer the case. Everyone now has to work together in a coordinated manner at the same time. The science, technology, and societal impact of advances in healthcare have become so complex that without leaders pushing everyone to work together many advances get stuck in what the entrepreneurial world calls the “valley of death”. The problem is that in healthcare it is literally a valley of death. Explore what it takes to narrow the gap between medical research and application, here on Beyond Publications. Discover how to be a leader that helps transform great science and technology developments into meaningful clinical impact. Hear interviews with high-impact performers who share their experience in moving healthcare advances forward from publishing, to drug development, to entrepreneurship, to making sure that patients and clinician have access to and know to make the best use of recent advances . Our guests come from all aspects of the healthcare industry. Listen to drug developers, medical device manufacturers, and disease foundations. Featured guests reveal performance secrets and discuss the challenges they overcame to ensure the success of a single project. With the guidance of these experts, feel assured that you are on the right track working in medical research and innovation. Become an outstanding performer by exploring the experiences of those ahead of you. Turn into a key player that makes sure the most promising advances survive the daunting “valley of death” once and for all. Hosting the podcast is Scott Wagers. Dubbed as the “consortium whisperer,” he is passionate about how collaborative innovation can accelerate the transformation of healthcare. He is the CEO and Innovation Designer of BioSci Consulting. They aim to make the process of translating medical research findings into clinical practice more efficient and more effective. Scott has spent the last 15 years working with vision-driven leaders in ambitious consortium projects that further the progress of medical innovation. He helps formulate impact-oriented strategic plans, collaboration projects, and stakeholder communities and ecosystems. He brings to the podcast extensive knowledge in this space as he guides you in gaining insight and exploring refreshing ideas for becoming a leader in driving medical innovation forward faster. We need more leaders across the entire spectrum of stakeholders and career path stages. There is so much to achieve when people work together instead of against each other. The healthcare industry will never progress without like-minded minds coming together. Done correctly, advancements do not have to stall after the initial flurry of publications Publications should be the starting point to brand-new ventures. Real change happens when research findings turn into reality and are finally implemented in hospitals and clinics. Listen to the podcast today at https://www.biosciconsulting.com
