Pleasure to be here. Highest signal to noise connections I’ve made in quite some time on FC! Also follow @rgoldoni at RH Foundation, and @joycesticks co-founder of ResearchHub. Lots of infrastructural issues in science we hope to improve. Fixing system of science —> step-wise improvement in science.

Can you expand on this. I only did undergrad in math and physics, and carry a deep curiosity about the natural world. Ultimately decided academic research wasn’t for me. @aviationdoctor.eth is probably more familiar with how academic science actually works. Would be curious to hear your spiel on what’s wrong.

Absolutely, TL;DR The science stack is comprised of 1) funding 2) experimentation 3) publication/peer review and 4) science communication 1) Funding turnaround speeds are ~1 year from starting a grant to receiving funds 2) No great 21st century coordination/collab tools to streamline collaboration

3) Oligopoly of publishers/journals that rent extract (up to $12K for them to host a PDF) WITHOUT paying peer reviewers 4) Science isn’t communicated in digestible ways to lay audiences. Therapies + global health issues impact everyone, so we should not expect them to read a 26 page deeply scientific manuscript!

Alright that all makes a lot of sense. I’m sure we’d see an uptick in cool science if they adopted a startup mindset. You’ve signed up for a hard task. There is an institutional inertia that will suck researchers into the old system. I’m curious what the game plan is to “vampire attack”.
