Proof of DeSci by ValleyDAO is a podcast series showcasing real scientific breakthroughs funded through decentralized science. Each episode dives into research milestones, researcher stories, and the impact DeSci is creating, proving that decentralized science works.
In this episode of Proof of DeSci, we sit down with Jake Wintermute, synthetic biologist, science communicator, and former developer evangelist at Ginkgo Bioworks, to explore the future of decentralized science.
Together with Albert and Morgan from ValleyDAO, we dive into the big themes shaping DeSci today: how lab automation and cloud labs could transform decentralized research, the role of DIY bio and iGEM as models for distributed science, and why culture, cost, and education are just as important as technology.
We also discuss the narrative challenges facing climate science, the opportunities DeSci creates as an alternative career path for young researchers, and even how memes and humor can become powerful tools for building community and communicating science.
Equal parts serious and fun, this episode captures the spirit of DeSci as a movement reimagining how science gets funded, executed, and shared.
