  • mikedapple
    Unimpressive
    Lack of expertise on the part of the host and guests often leads to a very clear corporate bias that skimps on due diligence of scientific integrity. Also, poorly recorded and engineered.
  • LVSELLERS
    Great content and experience
    Content covers very relevant scientific topics and weaves in leadership and human behavior - all useful! As a guest, you immediately made me feel at ease, as though I was talking to a long time colleague. Thank you for the opportunity!
  • Rjk-philly
    Must listen
    Worth following! Worth tuning in. Looking forward to another year! Thanks!
  • Og snapper
    Amazing content and easy to digest
    Harsh, this podcast has really helped me grow as someone who can confidently speak to folks in life sciences without having that industry experience. I am fresh out of college and learning the ins and outs of quality/compliance. You have such a great way of framing questions and helping people understand what goes into quality without being too wordy or hard to understand. Amazing show! Happy holidays.
  • Thenry1989
    Good educational podcast
    I love that this podcast brings biotech executives who are open to share how they are building innovative pipelines of products in very niche areas like cell and gene, mRNA, vaccines, cancer and such.
  • LizRob17
    Insightful topics
    Great content and experts - I enjoy this show! Harsh is a great host.
  • KFZUZULO
    Insightful perspectives
    I’m enjoying learning so much more about the life sciences and biotech industries by listening to Harsh Takkar’s interviews. A great way to get up to speed on what’s happening now!
  • Ncrobinson1
    Great Balance
    Recently found this new podcast and I’m really enjoying it. Not too long, about 30 minutes, and not too many meandering off topic threads. I think Episode 9 about Quality Management Systems is the strongest yet. The advice about learning soft skills is something every technical person needs to hear and take to heart. Well done and looking forward to more episodes.
