Seemay Chou on Arcadia's Revolutionary Approach to Science and Entrepreneurship

The DeSci Podcast

Today we are delighted to host Seemay Chow, Co-founder and CEO of Arcadia Science, a for-profit research institute with a specific focus on novel model organisms that haven't been traditionally studied in the lab and translating discoveries into commercial ventures.

In this episode, we discuss Arcadia’s mission, structure and approach, emphasizing the importance of providing scientists with the context needed to understand the practical applications of their research. Seemay explains how this approach fosters a different kind of creativity among researchers, thus increasing the likelihood of research success.

We also explore the limitations researchers face in the traditional setting while further highlighting the strengths and weaknesses of Academia and industry. Other topics we touched on include notions of diversity in science, strategies for spotting the best talents and ideas to fund, and many more.
