Dave Feldman sits down with Chris MacAskill to unpack the Keto-CTA study: owning key mistakes, dissecting plaque progression metrics, and charting the path forward in lipid research. Along the way, they explore observational data limits, AI-guided imaging, and the role of community and social media in driving scientific discovery.
