LifeSci Talks COA Series | Nothing Remains the Same: Why Measures Have to Evolve
In this episode of LifeSci Talks, Mark Wade, Global Practice Leader at TransPerfect Life Sciences, sits down with RJ Wirth, CEO and Consulting Psychometrician at Vector Psychometric Group, to talk about why the measures we rely on are living things rather than fixed artifacts. The two discuss why keeping a rigorous measure is often harder than building it in the first place, walk through why studies still run on out-of-date versions and translations, and reflect on what happens when one of these unvalidated instruments is used in real-world applications. Tune in to hear why the same words on a page can mean something different a decade later, and how thoughtful measurement keeps instruments rigorous, relevant, and ready for whatever comes next, AI included.
