DeSci (Decentralised Science) Meetup: Longevity

Calling all academics, funders, web3 developers and those who are curious about longevity biotech!

DeSci stands for 'Decentralised Science'; its a growing movement using blockchain/web3 to solve the myriad of pain-points that scientists face. See the articles below if you want more information!

For our first event in Oxford, VitaDAO, one of the biggest and most successful DeSci projects will be providing an overview of what DeSci is, their longevity scope and how it operates, its funding model and how you can get involved!

Be sure to join our Telegram group as its the best way to stay in touch and ask questions!

With support from Oxford Society of Ageing and Longevity:
At the Oxford Society of Ageing and Longevity (OSAL), our mission is to explore every facet of longevity science. We dive into topics ranging from the molecular mechanisms of ageing to the philosophical questions surrounding extended lifespan, emerging business opportunities and the promising future of longevity science.
