Additionally, the limited dissemination of scientific knowledge has resulted in a low valuation of science among the population. The high competition for the scarce academic positions and the prolonged wait for funding further complicate the work of researchers. This situation demands an innovative and efficient solution to distribute funds and promote science.\n\nSolution:\nDeSci Mexico, founded in October 2021, is a community dedicated to disseminating science and its advances to Spanish speakers, with a special focus on Blockchain applications to enhance scientific research. Through the DeSci Mexico platform, we aim to provide educational and scientific dissemination content in areas such as botany, natural resource conservation, ecology, paleontology, and biology fields, as well as tokenomics, blockchain, and web3.

Furthermore, our Spanish-language platform for scientific dissemination will democratize access to information, breaking down barriers and fostering a culture that values and understands science.\n\nBy extending our reach and encouraging collaboration among researchers, students, and the wider community, DeSci Mexico will help establish a decentralized and collaborative scientific network.

Combined with the low regard for science among the population due to the limited dissemination of scientific knowledge, we have seen a great opportunity to make a significant change with Decentralized Science (Garc\u00eda-Bull\u00e9, 2020).\n\nWe are also aware of the scarcity of positions in academia, the high competition, and the long wait times for receiving funding. With blockchain natives, we aim to distribute funds in a transparent, rapid, and genuinely collaborative manner.\n\nMission and Vision\n\nTo promote and stimulate scientific work as a basic necessity for the continuity of education and development in our country. We aim to achieve this through the creation of a scientific dissemination platform in Spanish, the DeSci M\u00e9xico journal, the Decentralized Science Podcast, off-chain conferences, Spanish-language content, and our Transparens protocol.\n\nAchievements\n\nParticipation with a track and conference at the ETH Cinco de Mayo Hackathon\nInternational and national outreach conferences\nPuebla\nEstonia\nSwitzerland\nAward at the Tallinn Hackathon 2024\nOutreach articles through the t2 Dapp\n\nWhat Do We Want to Do with the Funds?\n\nWe are creating our website, which will host our DeSci M\u00e9xico online journal and a newsletter featuring events, calls for proposals, and research projects happening globally in the DeSci ecosystem.\n\nDevelopment of the Transparens Protocol\n\nOrganization of off-chain conferences\n\nStart with the first Spanish DeSci Podcast\n", "lastUpdated": 0, "projectGithub": "DeSciMx", "projectTwitter": "DeSciMX"}, "recipient": "0xA14a8DfdA498614d67F98163a25612502d942B86"}}
