Customer Reviews
Informative industry podcast
This informative industry podcast keeps me up to date on key trends in the drug discovery industry
Information overload
I’m a PhD student working in the molecular biology field yet find myself drowning in acronyms and esoteric terminology throughout these podcasts that totally cloud the take home messages. Totally wrong style for a podcast- for an academic review one can sit down and take notes on, yes. But for a podcast? Nooooooo
Really informative scientific podcast
Perfect for a variety of topics around drug discovery
