Today’s the day. Welcome to #CatalystNYC!
We’re bringing together academics, funders, founders, and builders to reimagine how scientific discoveries get funded and turned into real-world impact.
See you soon.
A new $100k funding opportunity is now LIVE on ResearchHub, offered by @doublezero!
DoubleZero is doing the unprecedented: assembling an entirely new research field around *exotic physics-based communication methods*
What does that mean? Imagine sending data *through* the Earth, rather than around it.
The science is there, but the infrastructure isn't. That's the opportunity.
🧵
Something huge just landed at @ResearchHub.
Introducing: Endowments.
Starting today, everyone holding ResearchCoin (RSC) in their ResearchHub account will automatically earn high-yield Funding Credits, distributed daily.
Funding Credits must be used to support projects on ResearchHub, turning your one-time investment into a continuous source of research funding.
Right now on ResearchHub, a proposal is fundraising to test the feasibility of the Wim Hof Method (breathwork + cold exposure) in cancer patients. The reason why goes back to one of the longest living mammals on Earth 🐋
Here, Wim Hof explains.
This 16-week observational study plans to explore whether the approach is safe under doctor supervision. They also intend to measure inflammatory markers, heart rate variability, fatigue, sleep quality, and mood.
This is what ResearchHub is for: to support projects that don't often get funded through traditional channels.
A $200K funding opportunity was just posted on @ResearchHub to capitalize experiments testing a decades-old hypothesis:
That ancient megaliths weren't carved from quarried stone — they were cast from geopolymer concrete🧵
Levi's Stadium hosts the Super Bowl today. Next door? The viral substation behind the NFL's wildest injury theory.
Can EMF from this substation contribute to soft tissue injuries?
Let science settle this! $100K in research funding is live and the proposals are rolling in👇
Does exposure to EMF from an electrical substation impact the injury risk of NFL players? ⚡️🤔
Announcing $100K in funding to test @living_energy's viral hypothesis about why the 49ers are the NFL's most injured team.
4-8 grants. Preregistration required.

I just funded @christianclough with $RSC
let's get this study funded @bryan_johnson 🧪📈

A full day of discussions and networking left everyone energized and aligned on building better, faster and more open science.
Thank you to everyone who joined us for SciCon 2025. See you at the next edition!
SciCon 2025 did not disappoint! An incredibly energizing day showcasing engaging panels, intimate talks and cross pollination between different teams in the open science ecosystem.
Official videos to come soon.
Built a little surprise for #SciCon 2025 👀
I just vibecoded a @ResearchHub themed space shooter mini-game for everyone to play leading up to the event.
You dodge paywalls, blast bottlenecks, and collect power-ups from the founders themselves
Perfect little warm-up while we count down to December 4th in San Francisco.
Let’s have some fun, and post your high score below!
