  • Summary

  • The world of science is a place where researchers & scientists could transcend boundaries & develop life saving or path breaking solutions that could improve humanity… probably in Oz’s Fantasyland. The cost of producing high quality path breaking research is massive. As a researcher, you would need to earn doctorates from the best colleges to access the top research labs. This would mean walking away from your home to a different country to be able to live that dream. This is not hearsay, this is a description of decades of brain drain of talent towards the USA & other developed countries for accessing that research edge, in the process, cutting short their country’s prospects of making the next big home grown innovation. And even if you did ignore your patriotism & put your career first, the price of producing research at these labs would mean sacrificing 75-100% of your equity in the research royalties to the university. Eh, a small price to pay for the social validation & that shiny new equipment. Freedom & intellectual integrity was always an illusion, innit. IP battles, few open source communities & more issues like this pervade the research space DeSci seeks to fix that. In this episode, we speak with Eleanor Davis, Operations Lead for LabDAO, a DAO that’s building a p2p data marketplace (openlab) for lab services by connecting a decentralized network of labs with researchers & scientists as well as a fund for incubating life science projects (labteams). We discuss her background & the issues in the trad research space in the life sciences vertical that led to the inception of LabDAO, discussing openlab, LabFund & LabTeams.
