DeSci Edu
We are excited to announce the upcoming launch of the DeSci Edu program, an initiative by Molecule and BIO designed to train the next generation of decentralized science (DeSci) innovators. The goal of the 8-week course is to introduce participants to DeSci applications through hands-on lectures, weekly discussions, and tailored assignments to further their understanding of the space and further bridge the gap between the crypto and science communities.
If you’re reading this, we’d love to have your support! If you or someone you know is a Graduate student, postdoc, young professional in biotech/pharma, marketing & design, and Web3 enthusiast interested in getting more involved in the DeSci and Molecule/BIO ecosystem, and is willing to commit 5-7 hours/week from 17 March to 21 May, apply here by 24 February. Applications are open now, and spots are filling fast!
RODeo - The New Frontier for Science X Streaming
Last we left them, pump.science was just about to begin experiments utilizing URO and RIF in mice. Well, saddle up your MOUSE and ride into the FUTURE. Pump.science and Tracked Bio have teamed up to bring you live-streamed mice experiments on a device known as the rotarod (affectionately known as “the rod 💜 “).
In the RODeo, mice that have been given URO, RIF, or Control supplements are tasked with running on the rotarod that speeds up until they fall off. This experiment tests the effectiveness of longevity compounds like URO and RIF on endurance and stamina, important factors for a long and healthy life. Don’t believe it? Just watch. 😏
All RODeo mice experiments are live-streamed on their X page:
Other pump.science News:
In partnership with VitaDAO and their collaborators on the Longevity Prize, multiple new longevity compounds will be launching in February on pump.science’s brand new platform. F
