DeScience narrative 

“The traditional academic system, in its existing form, generally fails to benefit researchers or their communities sufficiently.”

Big names such as Elon Musk and Peter Thiel have always noted that the current century is markedly different from the previous one, as the excitement surrounding science fiction has diminished. Many brilliant minds are now gravitating towards careers in banking, law, and the internet. Despite intellectual satisfaction derived from scientific research, it is often stressful and inadequately funded.

This conservative field has encountered numerous problems that have hindered its progress for decades. For scientists, securing funding is crucial at the initial stages of research. When substantial time and resources are devoted to writing grant applications without achieving stable funding, most projects must be suspended. Financial constraints have led to many scientists choosing research projects with bias, resulting in numerous replication crises.

It's crucial for the academic system to evolve and better support researchers. Financial constraints leading to bias in research decisions is a serious issue that must be addressed. Innovation and progress in science depend on stable funding and a supportive environment for scientists to thrive. Time for change is now.
