  • We're doomed we're saved #29
    2024/12/02
    Modern humans are stressed creatures: overloaded schedules, constantly “on-call,” and social media haunting us into the late night. Part of this stress is maladaptive responses that date back to human history when stressors were about life and death and not about writing emails and making phone calls. A key player in those ancient responses is cortisol, a stress hormone that interacts with many biological functions, from heart rate to glucose metabolism, to inflammation and immune responses, as well as sleep and cognition. But is cortisol - as the social media proponents of the so-called cortisol detox make us believe - really the root of all our problems, and would it be desirable to get rid of stress altogether? Tune into episode 29 of We're Doomed, We're Saved and learn about the biological basis and myths surrounding stress and cortisol.

  • We're doomed we're saved #28

    Science can be complex and difficult to grasp, yet public understanding is crucial for navigating issues like disease risk, climate change, and pandemics. Clear, engaging science communication can help prevent misinformation and conspiracy theories, offering facts in place of myths. But how can we make science more digestible and appealing? Counterintuitively, it might be less facts and more emotions that can help to make science more appealing, more impactful – both when communicating to the public and to fellow scientists. In episode 28 of We’re doomed, We’re saved, Andreas Horchler and Louise von Stechow discuss strategies for scientific storytelling, drawing on principles that go back to ancient Greece and draw from modern brain science. Spoiler: It´s not as hard as it may look.

    In the expensive and failure-prone process of drug development, artificial intelligence (AI) can serve both as an efficiency tool and as a creativity tool. Increased efficiency means shorter timelines, reduced investment, and earlier insights into success or failure. This can lead to more opportunities to bring new drugs to patients. Increased creativity means exploring new areas in drug discovery and development, such as identifying new patterns in targets, drug molecules, and patient populations that may be unintelligible to the human eye. While we are witnessing the first tangible milestones of AI in drug development, the hype in the field can lead to inflated expectations of its benefits. To assess the true potential of the technology, we must also recognize its challenges, such as the algorithms' "black box" nature, their propensity for hallucination, and data bias. Only by being transparent about both the potential and the limitations of AI can we increase the trust of drug developers—and most importantly, our customers: patients. Listen to episode 27 of We’re Doomed, We’re Saved to learn more about the potential of AI for pharma and biotech.
