For Ep. 66, we continue our exciting journey into the world of Decentralized Science, or DeSci. We welcome Erik van Winkle and Jon Starr from DeSci Labs, a decentralized scientific ecosystem using web3 to empower scientists and rebuild the backend of science. We discuss some of the current pain points being faced by scientists, how science is in a crisis, and how DeSci Labs is looking to resolve this by using web3 to rebuild the backend of science.

Three Key Takeaways

Web3 shifts the balance of power in science away from scientific journals and large centralized bodies to scientists themselves, ensuring that they are fairly compensated for their work.
DeSci provides exciting opportunities to onboard talented individuals to web3 including scientists and researchers, who otherwise may have not felt compelled to engage with the space.
Science has been built around the same processes and technology for decades. Web3 will develop a more modern and decentralized scientific ecosystem that is accessible and empowering to the next generation of scientists.
