In this episode we're joined by Dr. Sönke Bartling, Founder of Blockchain for Science, an initiative that aims to open up science and knowledge creation through web3.

In this episode, we explore Decentralized Science (DeSci) and its potential to revolutionize research, publishing, and innovation! We dive deep into how blockchain technology can transform scholarly publishing by making it more transparent, efficient, and trustworthy.

We also discuss how DeSci can address funding inequality by supporting both high-profile topics, such as longevity research, and smaller yet vital fields. This, in turn, enables DeSci to promote diversity in research and unlock breakthroughs in overlooked areas.

We further discuss how DeSci can revolutionize the peer review process and explore the future of patents in a DeSci landscape, where research is incentivized without hindering collaboration, and how this can lead to more innovative scientific discoveries.
