Dr. Lynn Fynn is a clinical research scientist and a retired infectious disease specialist. We sat down together to discuss issues she sees plaguing medical research, including the misallocation of funds, a broken peer review process, and major conflicts of interest.
āAny time you incentivize something, youāre creating a bias. And when you create a bias, thereās an element of truth thatās removed from the equation,ā says Dr. Fynn.
āWhen a pharmaceutical company gets to pour money into a program, the curriculum is going to reflect what they want it to reflect, to make it a profitable transaction for them. Itās a return on investment.ā
What practical steps are needed to restore public trust in science and medicine?
āWhere thereās transparency, thereās trust. Itās really that simple,ā says Dr. Fynn. āOftentimes, [in] what used to be the scientific method, the process gets reversed. They look at the conclusion that is agreeable or preferred, and then they start working backwards. How can we prove this conclusion?ā
