Anina and Elena have invited Daniel Thoma from the University of Zurich for the third episode of our podcast. They talk to him about the highly controversial topic of preclinical research, how it has changed over time, where there is still value in conducting preclinical research, and where it has been replaced. Furthermore, they also discuss regulations, limitations, and why transferring the results to humans is difficult. 

In this episode, Anina and Elena talked to Franck Renouard, who has published and lectured extensively on “human factors”. He explains how he became aware of this topic and its relevance in dental practice. His theory: most complications happen not because of the lack of knowledge but because of human behaviour and the wrong application of knowledge.

In the first episode they talked to Gustavo Giordani, who has more than 133’000 followers on Instagram. He explained why he finds it difficult to be called an “Influencer”, how he came to that big number of followers, and also where to be careful when dealing with information on social media.
