The Future of Science Marketing: AI, Upskilling, and Human ConnectionI recently had a conversation with Isabel Verniers, partner at the Marketing Technology and Innovation Institute (MTI2) in Belgium, about how life science companies are adapting to rapid technological change while maintaining their scientific rigor.One of the interesting threads we explored was the tension between scientific and commercial mindsets. Scientists are trained to seek certainty and perfection before moving forward but

Storytelling vs. Math: How Narratives Shape Biotech...

2025/10/08

When it comes to biotech innovation, data and logic should drive decision-making, but sometimes stories take the wheel. This week, I spoke to Julien Willard, a board advisor and strategist for biopharma leaders. He had written a post on LinkedIn about how biologics may be favored over small molecules when logic suggests otherwise.Despite perceptions, small molecules still make up 73% of all FDA approvals from 2009 to 2023. They’re faster and cheaper to develop with median costs around $2.1 billion

2025/08/20

PCR has been a staple of molecular biology for over 30 years. But as Yann Jouvenot, Director of Product at N6 Tec, explains, no technology is ever too mature to be reinvented. In this walk and talk interview along the Martinez (CA) shoreline, we explore how N6 Tec’s ICON PCR technology is reshaping genomics workflows: reducing artifacts, unlocking discoveries at the margins, and giving postdocs their nights back.The Problem with OveramplificationNext-generation sequencing (NGS) has revolutionized

Tiffany Payne recently attended the American Society of Mass Spectrometry meeting—just two weeks after being laid off—and received a badge with "NONE" printed in giant letters under “Company.”She could only laugh to keep from crying. It’s sometimes hard to separate our job from our identity. Tiffany turned it into a conversation starter: “I’m the CEO of None Industries—offering nothing to no one, anywhere.” Humor not only helped her deal with the sting of unemployment but also opened doors to

2025/07/16

When Joachim Eeckhout says he started small, he’s not kidding. He and a friend began curating biotech news from a Paris dorm room, eventually launching LaBiotech.eu, a media brand that became a trusted voice in European biotech. What caught my attention is how they learned the landscape: by biking across France with a camera, interviewing CEOs, and turning it into a documentary. That’s how they built credibility and a network from scratch. As a fan of cycling, science and documentary filmmaking,

Beat the Clock: Finish Clinical Trials Faster

2025/07/09

Jin Kim is the founder and CEO of Miracle, a company helping biotech teams accelerate clinical trials by automating operational insights. Trials are a data problem and Miracle solves it by unifying siloed systems into one real-time dashboard. That has helped some clients finish trials 3–4 months ahead of schedule.Many trial operations still rely heavily on Excel. It’s easy, familiar, and free. But once you enter Phase 2 or 3 with CROs, labs, and recruitment vendors in play, things break down fast

Nick Clare is a co-founder of Succession Bio and co-host of the SalesDNA podcast. I recently spoke to Harrison Wade, the other co-founder here. Nick's journey into sales wasn't a planned career move. It was the result of "fear and desperation," as he put it.Nick was working as a scientist in the lab when his wife was 14 weeks pregnant with their third child. 20 days before Christmas, he was made redundant. Ouch. During his job search, he interviewed with a company where the CEO and CBO offered him

2025/06/18

When we talk about gene expression, most of the focus is on DNA and RNA sequences, but there’s a lesser-known, more subtle layer of regulation: RNA modifications. In this episode, I spoke with Gudrun Stengel, CEO and co-founder of Alida Biosciences, to explore how this fine-tuning mechanism affects everything from cell differentiation to cancer survival, and how her company is helping to decode it.RNA Modifications: A Hidden Code Within the CodeGudrun kicked things off by explaining how RNA

Preventing SUDEP with Smart Sleep Technology

2025/05/21

Every day, roughly 10 people in the U.S. die from SUDEP (Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy), most found face down in bed. Soterya is changing that with an ML-powered bed that detects sleep position and can gently reposition a person without waking them.I spoke with Norman Wen about how ML, robotics, and thoughtful design are merging to improve sleep health, and potentially save lives. Norman is the CEO of Soterya, a company building what you might call a smart bed. Their bed, Korus, is built

Recently, I’ve enjoyed interviewing people I have never spoken to before. Harrison Waid, the co-founder of Succession, is one of those. Shout out to Teddy Lin for connecting us. I took this as an opportunity to learn about Harrison and his business as well as a personal challenge to interview someone “cold”. OK, I did some research, so maybe “room temperature”.First of course, I needed him to explain Succession, co-founded with Nick Clare (who I hope to have on another time). They noticed life

Large language models (LLMs) seem to dominate the discussions, at least in my world lately. In this episode and the next, we’re diving into AI on a different scale. In this episode, I spoke with Josh Hinckley, co-founder and CEO of Bioqore. AI is being applied to the way we make things — in this case, food. Josh’s background in materials chemistry has led him to focus on process optimization for alternative proteins, where the challenges in the market are high: you have to make large quantities

I had the chance to speak with Petrina Kamiya, Global Head of AI Platforms and VP at Insilico Medicine, as well as President of Insilico Medicine Canada. Insilico Medicine is what Petrina calls a “tech bio”—developing both AI platforms and therapeutic assets, with a flexible model licensing both. Their pharma.ai platform was created to address challenges in drug discovery all the way from target identification to the clinic. In just a few years, they've gone from having two core products to a suite

2025/04/02

I’ve never been great at conflict. Like a lot of people, I’ve leaned toward avoiding it—especially in the workplace. But I know that’s not a useful strategy in the long run, which is why I was excited to talk with Deb Nathan, a conflict navigation coach, on Life Science Marketing Radio.Right off the bat, Deb drew a distinction between conflict resolution and conflict navigation. Resolution implies there’s a clear “winner” and “loser” or at least a compromise everyone can agree on—but let’s be

I ran into Jackson Hyde, the CEO of Diaago, whom I had interviewed on Life Science Marketing Radio a few years ago at SLAS. Jackson showed me a new cold shipping unit and suggested I talk to Faizan Ahmed. That led to this conversation about his company, Invensify, and its innovative approach to cold chain logistics.With an electrical engineering background and experience in solid-state physics, he started his career in the defense industry, leading the development of a precision coordinate scanning

Last month, I went to Stanford and did four years of college in four hours. Jennifer Dionne has been on the podcast before. After showing me some amazing technology in her lab (nanoparticles - I’ll share some clips on LinkedIn later) we wandered over to the Polynesian Garden to talk about her class, the Science of the Impossible. I avoided the waitlist and got the Cliff Notes version, which was enough to fill my brain for the day.Our conversation started with her path to becoming a scientist

Shifting our approach to feedbackIn my recent conversation with mindset coach, Margaret Jennings (MJ), our conversation started with the emotional rollercoaster created by feedback—especially when you're early in your career. Feedback, both positive and negative, is useful but can also result in a wild ride. MJ once described herself as a “floundering high achiever” in her 20s. She is a more grounded and self-aware leader today. Her insights are both relatable and instructive.Like many of us I’m
