Big Names in Naming: The Jenna Wise Episode

"We don't want to name faster. We want to name smarter."

I talk with Jenna about:

  • Addison Whitney’s Ari platform, an AI-powered naming tool designed to support creative exploration in pharmaceutical naming

  • Misconceptions about pharmaceutical naming

  • The skills needed for a career in pharmaceutical naming, including a love of language and natural curiosity

Plus we play Defend! That! Name! and Jenna tells me why Rest Area is what we’ll all be calling the common cold, why Wakeup Call is the most proper name for an etiquette school, and why Little Bunny could be a comforting name for an obituary writing service.
