advancement of science in Latin America, by building a bridge between the scientific community and the blockchain ecosystem.\n\nProblems that we would like to address:\n\n- Disconnect between the scientific community and DeSci.\n- Lack of visibility and funding for scientific projects.\n- Language barriers to accessing information in Spanish and Portuguese.\n\nOur society faces an evolutionary challenge stemming from a myriad of issues within the field of science. **We aim to contribute to the solution by advancing scientific progress.** We strive to collaborate closely with the scientific community to showcase how decentralization, new tools, and blockchain-related technologies are revolutionizing the practice of science for the better.\n\nSome of the issues are:\n- **Lack of funding**\n- **Time wasted in bureaucracy**\n- **Unanswered funding requests**\n- **Lack of resources**\n- **Lack of access to information**\n- **Challenges in reproducing research**\n- **Language barriers**\n- **Failed system of scientific publishing and peer review**\n\nAmong many other challenges and barriers to research advancement, one significant hurdle in Latin America is the lack of essential resources for scientific and technological progress.\n\nSadly, **many scientists in our region remain unaware of the tools and advantages offered by the blockchain ecosystem**, a missed opportunity for scientific growth.\n\nIn response, **we are committed to advocating for the decentralization of scientific knowledge** and resources while exploring alternative funding avenues.\n\nWe strongly advocate for **democratizing scientific knowledge** and fostering an **open-source culture** where collective efforts significantly enhance human well-being.\n\nTherefore, we endeavor to propagate knowledge throughout **Latin America**, amplify the visibility of scientific initiatives, and actively participate in advancing scientific progress. Through these efforts, we envision a future in our region that is brighter and more prosperous for all.\n\n\n**Our mission**: Driving scientific progress in Latin America.\n\nWe operate as a public good to advance Latin American science, serving as a nexus between the scientific community and the blockchain ecosystem.\n\nOur primary goal is to empower small foundations, scientific organizations, and researchers by providing them with visibility and the necessary tools to propel their projects forward.\n\nWe are committed to establishing meaningful connections within the scientific community through educational partnerships, events, Twitter engagements, forums, and various other platforms.\n\nOur overarching objective is to stay informed about and disseminate insights regarding the state of science in the region.\n\n\n[![alt text](https://img.youtube.com/vi/Voc7PRSCQjc/0.jpg)](https://youtu.be/Voc7PRSCQjc?si=Me2w1Kybf3naqsdQ)\n\n[![alt text](https://img.youtube.com/vi/V4867GsJPdo/0.jpg)](https://www.youtube.com/live/V4867GsJPdo?si=y43mdEJ8qRM0wS8c)\n\n[![alt text](https://img.youtube.com/vi/c_2WQB_c3hI/0.jpg)](https://www.youtube.com/live/c_2WQB_c3hI?si=18cTEFhROtu2Vm78)\n\n[![alt text](https://img.youtube.com/vi/EqPW5CfUjf4/0.jpg)](https://www.youtube.com/live/EqPW5CfUjf4?si=HJd4nCbqksgfmg2g)\n\n[![alt text](https://img.youtube.com/vi/Dv9B1PDmahM/0.jpg)](https://youtu.be/Dv9B1PDmahM?si=lVUzSZ5aDNnh7eBO)\n\n[![alt text](https://github.com/DeSci-Latam/gallery/blob/main/photo_2023-04-21_17-57-04.jpg?raw=true)](https://twitter.com/DeSciLATAM)\n\n[![alt text](https://github.com/DeSci-Latam/gallery/blob/main/photo_2023-04-21_17-57-05.jpg?raw=true)](https://twitter.com/DeSciLATAM)\n\n[![alt text](https://github.com/DeSci-Latam/gallery/blob/main/photo_2024-04-20_22-30-41.jpg?raw=true)](https://twitter.com/DeSciLATAM)\n\n[![alt text](https://github.com/DeSci-Latam/gallery/blob/main/desci%20latam.jpg?raw=true)](https://twitter.com/DeSciLATAM)\n\n[![alt text](https://github.com/DeSci-Latam/gallery/blob/main/photo_2023-04-21_17-57-06%20(4).jpg?raw=true)](https://twitter.com/DeSciLATAM)\n\n[![alt text](https://github.com/DeSci-Latam/gallery/blob/main/photo_2024-04-20_22-34-16.jpg?raw=true)](https://twitter.com/DeSciLATAM)\n\n[![alt text](https://github.com/DeSci-Latam/gallery/blob/main/photo_2024-04-20_22-50-44.jpg?raw=true)](https://twitter.com/DeSciLATAM)\n\n---\n\n#### Roadmap\n\n### Objectives for this year:\n\n- Continue collaborating with other communities.\n- Continue providing content in Spanish and Portuguese.\n- Expand our audience.\n- Add multi-language support to our website.\n- Host Twitter spaces/Lives with scientific projects.\n- Map sources of funding for scientific research projects.\n- Improve the quality of our live streams.\n- Apply to other grant programs.\n- Participate in regional events, both blockchain and science-related.\n- Organize our own events or side-events.\n- Secure a DeSci Space at Devcon.\n- Project reports from the DeSci Ecosystem.\n- Mapping of DeSci communities.\n- Host a DeSci hackathon.\n- Secure space for DeSci at regional events such as ETH LATAM, ETH Argentina, etc.\n\nWe are open to other initiatives along the way to our mission.\n\n---\n\n### Q1\n- We added 2 collaborators to the team.\n- Created a new version of our website.\n- Gave a talk at Vitalia - Honduras.\n- Pitched at Vitalia - Honduras.\n- 2 Live sessions with a scientific project.\n- 1 Live session with another DeSci community (MesoReef DAO).\n- Promoted DeSci Rio and Blockchain Week in Rio de Janeiro.\n- Participated in a Twitter Space hosted by DeSci Mexico, discussing Women in Science.\n- Spread awareness of DeSci LATAM's activities at DeSci Summit in Denver.\n\n### Q2\n\nhttps://www.descilatam.org/es-AR/changelog\n\n### Q3\n- Co-Host DeSci DAY at Aleph - Argentina\n- DeSci LATAM Virtual Conf ( TBD)\n\n### Q4\n- TBD (We will attempt to attend Devcon and secure space for DeSci).\n\n", "lastUpdated": 0, "projectGithub": "DeSci-Latam", "projectTwitter": "descilatam"}, "recipient": "0x46329E7cB9057CcCf57Cc39aFDb55C437d8D2Bf3"}}
