A lot is happening in the DeSci space. Unlikely other areas o crypto where enthusiasm is decreasing, in DeSci, the momentum hasn’t stopped building. The other day, someone told me that DeSci might be the killer app for crypto. Is that true? Only time will tell. What’s your take?

A couple of weeks ago, many of us were in Berlin for DeSci.Berlin, and now, many of the talks are online. All talks are worth watching, but two are a must-watch.

Jack Scannell's presentation on the lack of productivity in biopharma is super exciting and revelatory.

And Sebastian Brunemeir’s talk was fantastic, delivered with lots of humour, but quite dense in content. Worth watching and re-watching.

Conversations worth following

SCRF @SCRForum

For our latest community call, Dr. Christopher A. Hill of @DeSciLabs outlined the work that DeSci Labs is doing to empower individuals to advance #DeSci teachings and culture, and led a discussion on open #PeerReview. Some highlights:

Ashton C Trotman-Grant @ATrotmanGrant

The process of “spinning out” science from universities is broken. Why?👇🏾🧵

Tyler Golato @GolatoTyler

In the long run, it’s a mistake to think that the average user of web3 products will care about decentralization, network ownership, etc. Users care about convenience + experience. Build easy-to-use products that are objectively better by metrics other than “being decentralized”
