We’re looking forward to a candid conversation with major science funders about how they allocate capital and measure impact.
Speakers:
• Jordan Dworkin, PhD | Coefficient Giving
• Kumar Garg | Renaissance Philanthropy
• Bishakha Mona, PhD | Science Philanthropy Alliance
Faster and more transparent science funding isn’t just theoretical, we’ve seen it work.
We’re bringing researchers and funders together to discuss practical alternatives to traditional grants.
Can (and should) academia be decentralized?
Our panel of experts will assess the feasibility of decentralization in academia and what it would mean for science.
We’re honored to announce Professor John Ioannidis will deliver a keynote at SciCon 2025.
Dr. Ioannidis is Stanford professor and one of the most-cited scientists.
He has delivered ~700 invited and honorary lectures and is globally recognized as a leading voice in reproducibility and meta-research.
Notes: Submissions may be edited and curated for relevance; not all will be addressed.
No confidential information, legal or investment advice, or individualized support inquiries will be addressed.
Do you have a question for our founders?
Submit it for the Fireside Chat.
We’ll ask selected questions live on stage during the Fireside Chat with Brian Armstrong and Patrick Joyce.
🗓️ Deadline: Nov 28, 2025

SciCon 2025 will kickoff with a Fireside Chat featuring ResearchHub co-founders Brian Armstrong and Patrick Joyce.
They will discuss ResearchHub’s vision for enabling faster, more open, incentive-aligned science.
We are convening top leaders in open science, publishing, and research funding for a full day of dialogue and open networking.

Researchers have developed the first 3D human brain-on-a-chip with all major cell types and a working blood-brain barrier.
This makes it possible to test whether specific drugs can cross the barrier and work as treatments.

This suggests that early life could make functional proteins from a minimal toolkit.
It could also guide cheaper, more robust protein design today.
Modern proteins are built from a set of 20 amino acids, but “early Earth” likely had only about 10 of them.
Using AI-based protein design tools, researchers show it is possible to build stable, well-folded proteins from just this simpler set.

New research shows that stress biases the hippocampus toward spotting patterns rather than storing detailed memories.
This shift helps the brain anticipate what’s coming next, but at the cost of recalling precise details.

Researchers report the first evidence that immune cells from the blood and skull can enter the brain without a clear blood-brain barrier leak while remaining molecularly distinct from microglia.
This hints at gentler brain immune therapies compared to irradiation or heavy chemo.

A new preprint shows that a common enzyme can “unzip” polyurethane foams (used in furniture and insulation) into its original components to remake fresh foam.
If this scales, it points to true closed-loop foam recycling, less landfill, and less need for new petrochemicals.

Intermittent fasting leads to changes in metabolism, immunity, epigenetics, and the microbiome.
This preprint followed 114 women for 6 months, providing molecular evidence behind this popular practice.
Iron balance and immune remodeling are key to its health benefits.
As the work progressed, Florian and his team shared updates on ResearchHub, including maps and charts.
He answered questions, added a regional breakdown at a user’s request, and shared the code

🔬 Execution
With resources in place, the team:
→ 📊 Aggregated Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) crop data by caloric value
→ 🌍 Tracked shocks for 197 countries
→ ⚠️ Classified causes: climate, economic, conflict, policy, more
5/10
Through @ZuGramaIndia and the ResearchHub community, Florian’s proposal got funded and secured the resources needed to carry out the project, from data acquisition to analysis.
