In episode 91, we’re excited to welcome, Jordan Smith and Hank Brigham, Co-Founders of SCINET, a decentralized life sciences research and investment platform that revolutionizes the way people do and support science. We discuss how decentralized science, or DeSci, can address the biggest pain points felt by scientists, the role of IPNFTs in scientific research, how Web3 can empower individuals to have a voice in science, some of the most compelling DeSci use cases, and much more.

--Three Key Takeaways--

Some of the key pain points faced by scientists that Web3 can help address include a lack of funding, lengthy bureaucratic processes for approvals and publishing, the reproducibility crisis, and a lack of transparency and open access to data.
IPNFTs present an opportunity for scientists to be open and collaborative with their research while also being able to protect their intellectual property.
SCINET is helping build a more inclusive and fair system of science by giving everyone an opportunity to have a voice in scientific research, to invest in research important to them, and by shifting the power from traditional institutions to scientists and the community.
