If we’re working from a 17th century model of publishing science, then what effect does that have on translating science to clinical relevance? Kate and I had a mind expanding conversation (for laypeople) around this idea with Dr. Adam Ferguson, Professor and Principal Investigator at the Brain and Spinal Injury Center at UCSF. You may have already seen his fascinating presentation at Working 2 Walk this past year, “Big Data Analytics: Bringing Dark Data to Light for Enhancing Discovery and Translation in Spinal Cord Injury“. We tried to unpack some of the ideas and possibilities that came from that presentation.
