Science organizations are either embracing AI or keeping it out of their workflows. @ResearchHub is leaning into AI for writing and reviewing funding proposals, as a complement to human experts, not a replacement.

RSC Transparency Update Over the coming days, the ResearchHub Foundation will carry out planned RSC token transfers between internal wallets. None of the tokens are being moved for sale. The community does not need to take any action.

@VitalikButerin We’re funding research on this through an open-science RFP. • If you work on airborne disease defense, apply with an open proposal. • If you want to back it, add to the funding pool.

Introducing our SciCon 2026 keynote speaker: Dr. Jay Bhattacharya! NIH Director, former Stanford professor, and author of 170+ peer-reviewed papers. 🗓 December 10 📍 San Francisco

OpenAI posted this on Tuesday. By Wednesday there was a $44,220 protocol on ResearchHub to test it in human iPSC neurons, reviewed and open to fund. The lead took 32 minutes. Testing it is still the slow part, and that's the part we're working on.

Glad to see someone is on board with making replication a top priority! Although the notion that NIH is “scaling down” our work on replication is complete fiction. We are deeply committed to making replication a core part of the biomedical research enterprise. Work is moving forward on many fronts: 🔎 Investing $174M in efforts to test interventions that incentivize replication, support research with built-in replication, and more. 🔎 Created the Linked Discoveries tool in PubMed Central, which connects researchers with related evidence and replication studies. 🔎 Issued highlighted topic encouraging research on rigor, transparency and replicability. 🔎 Creating a new S-index to measure (and incentivize) data sharing among researchers, with other new metrics to come. 🔎 [Coming soon]: a new journal focused on replication work. No amount of money will fix the issues the scientific enterprise faces on this topic. It requires a major cultural change affecting how we conduct, evaluate and reward scientific work. The culture of biomedical science must reward replicable, reproducible research — or else we won’t make much progress improving human health.

(former?) wet lab scientist/mAb engineer here: hypothesis generation was never a major blocker to developing new drugs/advancing science. It's easy to generate low-quality hypotheses. You can waste years chasing bad ideas It's much harder to ID the good ideas and determine how to best test/implement them with reasonable time and cost Borrowing from @mfgrp & the late Chris Walsh: often the problem choice constrains feasibility and impact

We used GPT Sol 6.1 to draft 10 preregistered proposals to test this hypothesis in the wet lab. 1. Funders: pool funds on the RFP 2. Scientists: upvote, comment, or review to strengthen the experimental design 3. Wet labs: comment if you want to run one

Our fifth annual SciCon is coming to San Francisco on December 10. An invite-only gathering of funders, researchers, and AI in science leaders for a day on how research gets funded, evaluated, and replicated. Invitations are going out now. Keynote announcement coming soon.

The @ResearchHubF used our new AI assistant to: → Draft an RFP focused on hair loss research → Generate proposals in response to the RFP Now, they're inviting the community to review, comment on, and refine the proposals.

More than $1T a year funds scientific R&D. It often flows through grant systems built decades ago. Streamline the funding rails and dollars move faster and go further. Upgrading just 1% of that capital gets $10B to researchers faster and with less friction.

The fruit fly has made its decision! Join it, and others, in funding a study asking a simple question: can the tissue slides hospitals already have tell us how fast ovaries age?

This week @ResearchHubF handed the simulated fly brain $100 of RSC and turned open proposals into smells The connectome under it came out this month from @HHMIJanelia and @GoogleResearch It put all 100 ethereum:0xd101dcc414f310268c37eeb4cd376ccfa507f571 on one proposal - so I decided to join it by donating 10k of my own!
