RE: How Blockchains Could Fix Science

in #steemstem6 years ago

You know, I think your idea will be huge.
Although Steemit is a great place for a scientist to publish their work, get paid and still preserve 100% of the rights for their research, it also requires so much time to grow within the community. They would need to dedicate so much time writing articles pretty much on a daily basis as well as interacting with the people around here, and to be honest, I prefer they weren't wasting their time on that but on their own investigations.

I can't wait to see when this project takes off! Best of success.
This is the kind of things Steemit should base its foundations on.

This is a very good point that demonstrates exactly why it would be useful to have a shared account for scientists to submit high-quality articles through. I hope that this account will garner enough followers that everything it publishes will be fairly rewarded.

It's also worth remembering that scientists are currently paid nothing for work they publish, indeed they frequently pay fees to publish work, so anything earned here will be a bonus. It will be especially valuable for scientists doing outreach work into the wider community where researchers currently struggle to get their voices heard.

Yes indeed!

Entertainment makes this much money nowadays because masses are into it. Could you imagine a world where it's science what everyone adores to the point that scientist were treated just like movie stars?

Such an amazing dream.
