Research, Predatory Medical Journals & Dolphin MRIs
Season 1 · Episode 3 · Sep 2, 2026 · 46 min
Madi and Dr. Walser unpack how medical research actually works: why rigorous studies take years, how peer review and retractions function, spotting predatory journals, and why trust is wobbly right now. They detour into AI triage in radiology, physician shortages and resident pay, NIH/indirect cost debates, the ethics of cadavers and animal research, and where wild new tech (BCIs, nanobots, dolphin/mummy scans)might lead. Along the way: comedy analogies, media optics, and nuance rants)
