What if AI hallucinations held the key to scientific progress?
In this episode, we’re joined by John Conway, founder of 20/15 Visioneers and longtime pharma executive, for a raw and powerful conversation on how AI is reshaping life sciences - from institutional memory to software standardization.
💥 We explore why FAIR data could be a $4B opportunity, how hallucinations mirror scientific insight, and what’s really slowing down AI adoption in science (spoiler: it’s culture).
If you're navigating digital transformation, building AI tools, or just trying to make your data usable, this one’s for you.
🔹 Key Questions We Explore:
What happens when institutional knowledge disappears?
Can AI preserve scientific memory better than notebooks?
Is hallucination a bug or a feature in modern AI?
Why do scientific software projects keep failing?
What skills will define the next generation of AI innovators?
📅 Watch now to hear why AI isn’t just changing science - it’s changing scientists.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
