Science Will Win Pfizer

Throughout history, humans have coalesced around moonshot culture to achieve audacious goals—from eradicating smallpox, to sequencing the human genome, to landing a spacecraft on Mars. These feats of human ingenuity didn’t happen in a vacuum, they were born from intentional innovation, a “coalition of the willing,” and a vision to outdo yesterday. This fireside chat with Drew Panayiotou, CMO of Pfizer and Devon Still, ex-NFL player and founder of Still Strong Foundation, explores innovations in cancer, their personal experiences with family members needing healthcare treatment, and what it will take to achieve Pfizer's next big moonshot to outdo cancer and achieve its vision, a world where people with cancer live better and longer lives.

Podcasting has exploded in the last 5 years, with every celebrity, brand, and influencer investing in audio. It’s estimated that 144MM people in the U.S. listen to a podcast monthly. With scale and an ability to build audience connections, podcasts have become effective at communicating complex information in a digestible way–making them perfect for sharing science-based stories. Many have heard the term "gene therapy," but how many know what it means? How do you explain the science behind artificial intelligence or designing the Mars Rover? Audio allows us to do this, while enhancing the impact of science communications. Join the Pfizer Podcast team, NASA, UT Austin, and Wonder Media Network as they share their audio expertise and accessible approach to scientific storytelling.

In a live taping of the Science Will Win podcast, Host and Artificial Intelligence Expert Jeremiah Owyang speaks to cutting-edge healthcare leaders about the impact that AI is having on the future of cancer. Thirty years ago, the thought of a world without cancer was nothing more than a dream. Similarly, AI was considered a technology that had yet to become reality. Today, we are reimagining a future where the AI revolution will help change the trajectory of cancer as we know it.

Is it possible to live in a world without antibiotic resistant bacteria? For the final episode of this season, we’re looking ahead to the future and getting a glimpse of a potential world in which we stay one step ahead of AMR, and what is helping us get there. Host Jeremiah Owyang and expert guests will talk about the education, surveillance, and policy efforts needed for success in the fight against antibiotic resistant bacteria. And we’ll explore how artificial intelligence can empower us in those efforts — and enable more effective, accessible, and equitable healthcare.

Artificial intelligence has the power to transform the way researchers study bacteria and develop new treatments – and we’re already seeing the benefits in healthcare. In part three, host Jeremiah Owyang and expert guests shed light on how AI expedites and enhances analyses, revolutionizing the search for new antibiotics. The benefits of AI extend to analyzing bacterial DNA, uncovering vulnerabilities, and potentially predicting bacterial evolution. This innovative technology aids scientists in pinpointing the most promising antibiotic candidates from a sea of possibilities and helps to streamline drug development.

Artificial intelligence could be an essential tool in the fight against antibiotic resistant bacteria – and data is a key part of developing that tool. In part two of this four-part series, expert guests break down the mechanics behind artificial intelligence and machine learning. As host Jeremiah Owyang traces the evolution of these tools in healthcare, he highlights the crucial role of data for understanding the problem of antibiotic resistance.
