Observations after 36hrs in Davos: DeSci is still new but had an overwhelmingly positive response. Now is time to build beyond the bubble. “It’s actually doing something impactful, how do I not know about this?” - IPTs + DTT longevity spinouts, distrib. compute @vita_dao @lab_dao

Love that DAOs are being recognised as an alternative route for funding and building translational R&D. I’m excited by how far @vita_dao has come since ‘21 - we’ve done 2 longevity spinouts already. The first ever in DeSci! And there’s so much more cool stuff to come 🚀
