In Jan of 2018 I convened a group of scientists, techies, regulators and degens to game out why DeSci wasn't thriving in the early DeFi ecosystem and ICO waves. What @ResearchHub, @@BioProtocol and others are learning now with the mediocre performance of $RSC and $BIO and others recently, despite (or because of) massive hype, could have (and should have) been anticipated. The complexity level is different in science, the IP/open science friction is unique (e.g. economics of a quasi-public good), the regulatory environment, interlocking business models, and unique incentive system of operators (puzzles and ribbons, then money) make the DeSci approach different by design from the DeFi approach. What we are seeing so far in "DeSci" is really just a cargo shorts cult modeling DeFi with a science wrapper. DeSci is going to break out of containment and save science from what ails it, but not in the current gimmicky DeFi way you are seeing. @praxsci has been in open stealth the past few months, but now ready to step out fully into the world. There are hard learned lessons from a decade of DeSci ready to be applied. But it will take complex solutions to complex problems, and change strategy approaches to getting buy-in of the TradSci community who WANT new solutions, but are skeptical of the nonsensical silly hype or tech. We'll fix this. #longacademia #longscience #longDeSci #shortSciSlop

Finishing an amazing several days of #fieldwork with @DRIScience @aeheggli & @NSHE colleagues on our @longnow #LongScience observatory #NevCAN...new #snow sensors & some infrastructure updates!

Wrapping up a great week of surveys for cool new #snowscience w/@aeheggli coming to #NevCAN! Pals from Western Regional Climate Center @DRIScience #WRCC get refreshed at the "Cow Shower" in Spring Valley. So glad to have this #LongScience observatory with @Longnow!

Maintaining valid long term observations is the core of #LongScience. Nothing about this is easy. It's also one of the most underappreciated #science activities in the age of 3-year funding cycles. Keep it up @USGS @USGS_Nevada

#longscience 😜

Also, there will be a shout-out to #LongScience! @longnow @unevadareno @DRIScience @unlv @lbwelch @zander @stewartbrand @JohnsonSoilsLab

The lack of #longscience is a huge issue, with the #LTER network a rare exception @caplter @USLTER @MCM_LTER etc. Even Trump's climate consigliere Will Happer agrees! propublica.org/article/a-phy…

So cool to see the hard work of many years hit the cover of @nature, alpine hats off to my wonderful GLORIA pals Hari, Andrea, and Klaus as well as their co-authors!! #mountains #climate #plants #LongScience

Bravo! In #earth, #ecosystem, & #biological sciences, there is no substitute for (or path forward without) the dedicated field researcher #longscience #doingitright #ecology

Many shout outs are being earned in 7th/8th Science! Can we fill the board by the end of the year? #longscience #shoutout
