Welcome to another episode of the DeSci Podcast. Today, we were joined by Dr. Jocelynn Pearl, a biotech scientist and the co-founder of LabDAO, an online life science research community whose mission is to accelerate progress in the life sciences by making scientific tools more accessible.

In this episode, Jocelynn shares insights on the factors and events that birthed the idea of Decentralized Biotech and the importance of incentivizing knowledge sharing so it becomes accessible to other researchers.

We also discuss the pros and cons of centralization within the Biotech sector, the limits of online collaboration, and many more.
