🔮 Sunday commentary: Blockchain Use Cases for Science

Jocelynn Pearl on the potential of blockchain to improve science

Hi, Azeem here.

I’m away for a couple of weeks, so I asked EV member Jocelynn Pearl to step in and provide this week’s Sunday commentary.

This year has been a whirlwind for Web3, to say the least. Along with many of you, I’ve had to rethink my assumptions about what blockchain can do, and what real world problems it can reliably help us solve. To do this, I suggest we dive into a sphere that has problems that are easily attributed, at least in part, to centralisation and gate-keeping institutions and companies: science.

Jocelynn is a leading thinker and practitioner in this space, and believes that Web3 can help us address some of the most pressing issues in how science is conducted, and published.
