“What is true decentralization? Should governments fund science at all?”
In this episode, we sit down with @AndrewHemingway, tech entrepreneur and founder of the @DeSciAlliance , to unpack:
• The rise of decentralized private computing
• Why healthcare costs are fundamentally broken
• The future of science funding and who should
control it
• How Web3 is reshaping institutional trust

Andrew’s vision for DeSci is bold. Science should be radically open, less dependent on gatekeepers, and powered by the community.
This episode is for the builders, the skeptics, and the future-shapers asking better questions and creating better systems.
Listen in and join the conversation.
