@100y_eth Well researched article on the DeSci side. It lacks on the understanding of the academic side though. I wish people would stop saying academia is broken… it’s incorrect and a shallow statement.
@Doghablaespanol Thankfully fraud and retractions are concentrated in paper mills. Technology to detect fraud is improving. Integrity has never been more important and is being encouraged. Decentralised publishing, improved reviewing, and increased scientific funding will absolutely reduce fraud.
@AndrewHemingway There is a lack of consultation with TradSci. I see many projects saying they will ‘fix academia’. We don’t need a replacement, we need help. Current scientists are putting effort to help DeSci out. DeSci needs to start coming and asking how they can help.
@InnBioresearch Most research funding statements include a disclaimer, the 'as such' here could imply that crypto-funded research is uniquely independent, when in reality, most funding doesn’t dictate study design or data interpretation. That said, it’s exciting to see researach funded by DeSci
My vision for #DeSci is bringing scientists into a decentralised community where their funding source won’t drop 90% in 4 weeks. Can people tag me in projects that are using tokenomics ethically and appropriately?
@elimohamad@Jtforcher88@yesnoerror Wait, I'm confused. Are you sceptical regarding DeSci providing useful drug discovery A.I tools? Or are you suggesting we aren't using A.I in drug discovery?
A.I is heavily used in drug discovery.
@nonfungibleyash This is the absolute utopian dream. We all agree being a researcher is the best job in the world EXCEPT for the increasing lack of funding. I'm still waiting for a DeSci project to directly address this sustainably. Speculative tokens are volatile by nature.
@InnBioresearch or data interpretation. Curious to hear your thoughts!
Also, where will additional funding come from considering token price is down >80%? CROs are expensive, I'm worried relying on speculation is unsustainable.
@InnBioresearch Congrats on funding research through DeSci! One small thought: While it's great to highlight independence from conventional funding agencies, the research was still funded—just through different means. In most cases, traditional funding bodies also don’t influence study design
@elimohamad 1. Prioritise long-term sustainability over short-term speculation
2. Align incentives between researchers, funders & communities
3. Ensure fair value distribution without exploitative token schemes
4. Enable transparent governance & funding allocation
Giving infectious disease research a break, as promised by the MAHA agenda.
Let's break down what exactly this Executive Order is *really* saying. Fortunately, I speak fluent anti-vax grifterese & can translate.

@KuhnboBio@WallaceUcsf Are you insinuating that because GFP is highly stable, we shouldn’t fund scientific infrastructure such as freezers in academia?!
@AdamDraper@Cerebrum_DAO Absolutely! This is my biggest concern at this stage:
Early stage VCs fail on over 80% of their ventures.
Can DeSci DAOs at their early stages weather such high fail rate and long ROI schedules?
Who does the speculative aspect benefit? At the moment I’m mainly seeing it benefit crypto speculators. Is it really attracting many scientists? Are they staying due to holding the depreciating assets or for the vision?
@AndrewHemingway appealing to your immense knowledge in the space. Does floating a DeSci DAO token onto a speculative market benefit projects? Trying to put together case studies of success stories. Would DeSci benefit from communities free from speculative assets at this stage?
