In most cases, I feel like there is so much knowledge that we can unveil with open access. For instance, I work with a lot of CROs who do amazing research and experimentation, but their protocols never see the day of light in public.
One of the ideas that I am pondering is letting folks publish their protocols publicly in exchange for a bounty or tying it with some sort of incentives based on reviews.
Similar to scientific publishing, we could open the borders of industrial bioresearch and protocols to the public in a marketplace that incentivizes each player.
Ultimately, no human knowledge should sit in a silo in a dark corner of a room or cloud.
Totally agree!! This is something I have discussed quite a bit with Niklas and Arye as we launched LabDAO. Just as you said, so much of biotech/industry research, methods are siloed because they aren't incentivized to share. Really interesting/exciting to think about how to change that. One approach could be a knowledge graph for types of protocols they are using CROs for. Another could be like a biotech protocol database. I've also chatted with someone previously at Benchling about this idea in particular for rare disease research. Would love to see any/all of that start to happen.
Hello My Dear Jocelynn! I'm always amazed by your abundant productivity and the generous sharing of your thoughts. This is mostly because I am aware of your full time responsibilities and the fact that you recently became a mother ❤. I reckon how challenging these activities can be. My old supervisor Dr Leonidas Deane use to say: Do your literature search right. Make sure you are not "rediscovering" the gunpowder 😂. We're structuring SciDAO, a scientific publishing decentralized platform, and as I can see from the OpenAccessDAO propositions table, most of our DAO's goals have been previously and thoroughly pondered. I can only hope that this means timing, maturity and education is right for fully opened, non-paywalled scientific publications; that the fruit is ripe for us all to enjoy open and democratized science communications which will bring rapid, accessible and affordable knowledge to scientists and society alike.
Thank you Maria for your kind thoughts! I was thinking about SciDAO and some of the other DAOs working on peer review and open access. There is something in the air - many parallel workstreams happening. I'm excited to see how SciDAO develops.
Hi Jocelynn - we are both in W3WS (women in Web3, Women in Science) telegram chat group so I'm sure I don't need to remind you about FrontierRegistry. I first mentioned this scientific publishing platform early Fall last year and then had it peer reviewed by the community. I then referenced it on-chain in my Mirror.xyz article, Why Science, Why Blockchain, Why A DAO Now last December (2021). https://mirror.xyz/0x4A35674727c44cf4375d80C6171281Ba2f764213/oQ8iKsOm3Hb05pUA3oV_GFyiyqcmJJk6cFnwudXsbP8
Then went ahead and minted the Pitch Deck as a IP NFT to demonstrate Proof of Concept since by February the many VCs I had pitched to already weren't taking. That pitch deck remains on Opensea.io (searchable under Frontier Registry)
Since receiving some grant funding from Polygon to build out our platform, I have also put up a landing page and explainer video:
I realize these links are all redundant for you since I've posted them in our Tg chat group(s) already several times as well as links to the Twitter Spaces where I've been featured as a guest to talk about this issue of Scientific Publishing and Frontier Registry.. But, still, I guess a Refresh is in order.
Thanks for the good roundup.
It'd be great if you could include FrontierRegistry since it's the only one that demonstrated IP NFT PoC and also pre-dates much of what you reference here in this otherwise informative article.
