Season 2, Ep 1: David Chambers

Welcome to Season 2! On today's show, we interview David Chambers, the Deputy Director for Implementation Science in the National Cancer Institute. We’ll talk about the history of implementation science, the false notion of science in a vacuum, the role of creativity in science, what makes a good meeting, how teams are like jam bands, and you’ll get to test your knowledge of Frank Zappa against David’s.
