Science funding, publishing, and ownership are all broken in different ways.
Decentralized science is trying to fix all three. 🧪

Molecule has helped fund $7.5M in research for underfunded causes like rare diseases 👩🔬🦠
The key to their success: native incentive mechanisms that drive collaboration & make science FUN 🔬😀

There's so much buzz around Sam Altman's basic income pilot, we often forget there are real humans behind the numbers.
Stories of people escaping abuse, taking a risk for better jobs, building businesses, parents getting more time w/ kids.
Here are their stories: 🧵

Canadian researchers gave thousands of dollars to homeless people. They ended up saving the government hundreds of thousands of dollars & significantly reducing homelessness.

“We couldn't have envisioned a more fitting partner than Endaoment, the world’s first onchain 501(c)(3), to realize our goal of “showing the world the good of Web3.”

This image breaks me. At 2.7 degrees of warming, which is our present policy trajectory, two billion people will be exposed to extreme heat.
99.7% of those people live in the global South. People who have done nothing to cause this crisis. The injustice is staggering.

The Ontario government plans to waste eight billion taxpayer dollars on a redundant highway (413) that cuts through protected land. What else could that money buy? Services Ontarians actually need. Sign the petition to stop Highway 413: ow.ly/GfAm50Pl5rY

No podcast has accompanied me more on my #web3 journey than @Crypto_Altruism. 🎧
Chatting with @DWSimon was a great pleasure. Favorite takeaway? If we really walk the web3 walk, we have the potential to create circular systems, as opposed to the "make-take-use-dispose" ones. 🌍
