Why decentralized science is the future of medicine

Hello Team,

Sometimes all it takes is one conversation. One exchange can fire the imagination, inspire and encourage…

They happen a lot in Web3 - and we had another one recently when Benji Leibowitz of Molecule DAO joined Bionic’s Rich Simpson and Dom Rodwell for the first of the Project Spotlight video series.

Talking to Benji fuelled our optimism about decentralization impacting the world in ways that will make a real difference. Not to mention the awesome people gathering in the space to make it happen.

The good news is we have more of these chats coming up.

We’ll be shining Project Spotlight on the innovators at OrangeDX, Gaimin and io.net very soon.

So make sure you hit the subscribe button on our YouTube channel!
