About the Event
DeSci Boston'25 is our third event uniting scientists, patients, pharma, funders, technologists, and other stakeholders to re-envision how science is done and shared. This year, DeSci Boston is joining forces with EthBoston, SolBoston and Boston Blockchain week to provide a greater intersection between the research needs centered in Boston's Academic center + the tools that can implement Open Science principles at the infrastructure level.
