This episode unpacks the complex relationship between technology, innovation, and trust in scholarly publishing. With decades of experience and candid insight, Joy Moore and Kent Anderson call out some of the most pressing contradictions facing the publishing world today.

They explore how publishers risk losing sight of their core values by chasing tech trends, and why the goals of science and technology may not always align. From the shift of open access from movement to monoculture to the rise of platform governance, they raise serious questions about sustainability, ethics, and trust.

Together with host Nikesh, the conversation spans the role of leadership, the influence of funders, and the assumptions shaping how research is accessed and shared.

A must-listen for anyone who wants to repair—not just rewire—how science is communicated.
