Science funding, publishing, and ownership are all broken in different ways.
Decentralized science is trying to fix all three. 🧪

The key to their success: native incentive mechanisms that drive collaboration & make science FUN 🔬😀

On December 6, we observe the National Day of Remembrance & Action on Violence Against Women. The day was established to mark the anniversary of the 1989 murders of 14 women at l’École Polytechnique de Montréal, who were killed because of their sex.

Really touching and eye-opening stories from Sam Altman-backed basic income pilot.
Read this thread:
There's so much buzz around Sam Altman's basic income pilot, we often forget there are real humans behind the numbers.
Stories of people escaping abuse, taking a risk for better jobs, building businesses, parents getting more time w/ kids.
Here are their stories: 🧵

Canadian researchers gave thousands of dollars to homeless people. They ended up saving the government hundreds of thousands of dollars & significantly reducing homelessness.

“We couldn't have envisioned a more fitting partner than Endaoment, the world’s first onchain 501(c)(3), to realize our goal of “showing the world the good of Web3.”

Considering donating some of your 2023 crypto gains before year end? ❤️💸
Here's some inspiration from @endaomentdotorg CEO @RobbieHeeger 👇
"We talk a lot about touching grass, and I think in some ways donating to nonprofits using crypto is a way of touching grass"🌱😌

This image breaks me. At 2.7 degrees of warming, which is our present policy trajectory, two billion people will be exposed to extreme heat.
99.7% of those people live in the global South. People who have done nothing to cause this crisis. The injustice is staggering.

The Ontario government plans to waste eight billion taxpayer dollars on a redundant highway (413) that cuts through protected land. What else could that money buy? Services Ontarians actually need. Sign the petition to stop Highway 413: ow.ly/GfAm50Pl5rY

No podcast has accompanied me more on my #web3 journey than @Crypto_Altruism. 🎧
Chatting with @DWSimon was a great pleasure. Favorite takeaway? If we really walk the web3 walk, we have the potential to create circular systems, as opposed to the "make-take-use-dispose" ones. 🌍
