YES! I have been telling my fellow students and friends for weeks that science has to become decentralised. Its ridiculous that science is figuratively in the hands of corporations now! As a scientist you do not get funding if you do not research areas that corporations want you to research. Researching in universities allows for a bit more flexibility but then it also gives a lot less money. In the end its the rich that decide what is researched and not the people. By democratizing science it gives power back to the people to decide on what they want the scientific community to study. Love this post and love blockchain for the possibilities it can bring!
