[DeSci is not a silver bullet]
Recently, the Binance Launchpool for @bioprotocol has reignited interest in DeSci.
As a Ph.D., I believe DeSci isn't a universal solution but rather something that will coexist with the modern academy in the future. Here's why:
โช๏ธ DeSci is not well-suited for projects requiring massive funding and is challenging to monetize.
โช๏ธ Overturning the existing journal structure will be incredibly difficult in the near term, as journals hold immense importance in academia.
โช๏ธ DeSci cannot change the intense culture of competition in science, which is deeply rooted in human nature.
However, DeSci does have roles it can play in modern science:
โช๏ธ Funding small-scale projects with potential for monetization.
โช๏ธ Bootstrapping journals for publishing negative results.
โช๏ธ Addressing incentive structures in peer review.
โช๏ธ Encouraging collaboration within small groups, such as Research DAOs.
My "DeSci A to Z" article is in its final review stage. Stay tuned, it's coming soon to @2077Research
