If Einstein Was Born Today, He Would Have Chosen DeSci!
What if science wasn’t locked in labs or universities?
In episode 47 of the Molecule Podcast, we meet Juan Keymer, Assistant Professor, Shenzhen X-Institute who enlightens us on the existing academic pipeline and how it can be made more flexible with the advancement in AI, DeSci (Decentralized Science), Blockchain Innovation, Open Credentials and more.
• Reimagining the future of Science with DeSci.
• This is a deep, thoughtful, and radically hopeful conversation about the future of learning, research, and planetary collaboration.
• Indulge in a world of Science with Juan Keymer and Ella McCarthy-Page (SciComms Lead at Molecule) away from textbooks and traditional academic systems.
In this fascinating episode, we dive deep into reimagining the infrastructure of science away from elite institutions and toward decentralized, gamified systems that anyone can engage in.
