Live from SXSW - Moonshot Culture: Innovating to Outdo Yesterday
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, Former 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.This episode was recorded live in Austin, TX on Monday March 11 as part of Pfizer’s takeover of the South by Southwest podcasting lounge. The Let's Outdo Cancer Campaign aims to focus on advances in fighting against cancer. To learn more, visit letsoutdocancer.com.

Live from SXSW - Scientific Storytelling: The Audio Advantage
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.Featured experts:Shira Atkins, CRO & Co-Founder, Wonder Media NetworkEllen Gerstein, Head Of Digital Communications, Pfizer Inc.Katie Konans, Audio Storytelling Lead, NASAKristen Wynn, Program Manager, The University of Texas at Austin, Dell Medical School, Livestrong Cancer InstitutesThis episode was recorded live in Austin, TX on Monday March 11 as part of Pfizer’s takeover of the South by Southwest podcasting lounge.

Live from SXSW - The Future of Cancer
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.Featured experts:Edward Cox, Head & General Manager Of Digital Health & Medicines, PfizerJulie Gerberding, CEO and President, Foundation for the National Institutes of HealthMaimah Karmo, Founder & CEO, Tigerlily FoundationThis episode was recorded live in Austin, TX on Monday March 11 as part of Pfizer’s takeover of the South by Southwest podcasting lounge.
