The history of R&D timelines, why most AI tools fail at the last mile, and what a genuinely accelerated discovery pipeline actually looks like from the inside.
About the podcast
Dr. Sarah Chen, co-founder and CEO of Synth, joins the podcast to discuss the structural reasons why scientific discovery timelines have barely improved in 50 years — and why most AI tools are solving the wrong part of the problem.
