For most of history, biology has been an observational and taxonomical discipline - it was mainly focused around observing and documenting all the various forms of life, their behaviour, patterns of movement, and the intricacies of their interactions within the variety of biomes and ecosystems they live in.
I'm excited to see this focus on decentralization in synbio. It's clear to see how much open source and decentralized approaches have pushed development forward. I'm excited to see what alternative funding models can be used to keep research findings public, such as the philanthropic funding and research shared by organizations such as the Good Food Institute and the Homeworld Collective.
Still on the note of decentralization, but less on development and more on production, I am excited to see where bio-manufacturing can be decentralized to facilitate production much more co-localized with supply chain and demand.
Does publication need to be blockchain-based, or could we move to more open and accessible repositories for human knowledge? For example, web-based tools like pubpub.org, among others?
