#ETHMilan 2026 delivered✨ Grateful to have taken the main stage to give my talk, «Blockchain X AI Safety».
Speaking to a room this engaged about where agentic AI and human verification are heading was a real highlight.
Huge thanks to @ilsignorwolff for the invitation and the @eth_milano team for the organization. See you next year for Milan Blockchain Week! 🇮🇹

We took a moment to share who’s been shaping the future of DeSci 👩🔬🧪
Here are the women pushing us forward every single day
We could only tag 10 😢! So feel free to tag them below 👇

♀️✨Another great piece by anthropologist and femtech/DeSci founder @vmkirin on @Maddyness_UK exploring themes of tokenism vs. true inclusion, the masculinization of technology, and the moral hypocrisy within Web3 culture—especially the gap between alleged decentralization and the actual redistribution of power and structural change (these reflections are my own).
📑«It's a common topic at Web3 events: we need more diversity, perspectives, and women to help shape the nascent industry. Without them, it will again be a white man's world with incredible bias. [...]
We must break decades of bias for women to enter Web3 in the balanced numbers leaders desire. First, Web3 must begin to look like a place *for* women. [...]
Leaders of Web3 businesses and events, 87% of whom are men, need to consider an inclusion plan that makes their companies welcoming. Personally, when I see a team page on a company's website made up of all men, I veer away due to a history of microaggressions in tech.
[...] Next time you wish to complain that women and minorities are not joining your community, think hard about the overarching social context that the community exists within. Nothing happens in a vacuum. You can make change, but you'll have to address entrenched biases to do so.»

The Matilda Effect, coined by science historian Margaret Rossiter sts.cornell.edu/margaret-ros…, refers to the systematic under-recognition of the contributions of women in science, with credit often being attributed to male colleagues or erased entirely.
It’s named after Matilda Joslyn Gage womenshistory.org/education-…, 19th-century feminist, women’s / human rights activist who first documented this bias in historical records.
Grateful to @DeSciWorld for spotlighting the women who’ve shaped DeSci from the start. Honored to be on this list — thank you 💜

Pioneers are too often forgotten—especially when they’re women. This erasure isn’t new. It’s called the Matilda Effect—when women’s contributions, especially in science, are overlooked or misattributed.
Following @DeSciWorld’s initiative (xitter.cf/DeSciWorld/status/1914…), I want to highlight ♀️✨@Web3WomenInSci:
the first women-led #DeSci community—founded by actual scientists, but open to all. Mixed, collaborative, mission-driven, 🎙️ hosted one of the first-ever DeSci Twitter Spaces, shaping the early conversation around DeSci.
This is the kind of legacy we need to remember—and build on! I’d love to see this spirit revived and carried forward 🧠💪 #MatildaEffect #WomenInSTEM
Adding on the list ✨♀️OG women pioneering DeSci @Web3WomenInSci one (the?) very first community of women scientists & founders in DeSci, created back in January 2022 by @AriellaStudies @Shamburgularara @JocelynnPearl w/ @danielyse_ @wilmasthoughts et al🔗linktr.ee/w3ws

🫵Sharing this before all you scientists run away from X:
🚀Excited to share our latest #preprint on @OSFramework: “Collaborating with Early Career Researchers to Enhance Scholarly Communication: A Guide for Publishers” 📘osf.io/preprints/osf/pbvfz_v…✨
✍️Co-authored with @T_Weissgerber EXCELScIOR ERA Chair Team Leader, Friederike Kohrs, and an inspiring team of 50 metascience researchers invited by the @METRIC_Berlin @ChariteBerlin, this guide highlights how publishers can engage Early Career Researchers (ERCs) beyond authorship = with peer review, editorial roles & more!
🔍My focus: peer review challenges, ghost reviewing & recognition for PhD students. This work builds on my experiences as a @ASAPbio_ fellow in 2022 under the guidance of @jessicapolka @IratxePuebla & open science efforts with @AntsReview

I appreciate your enthusiasm for #DeSci, but as the co-initiator of this movement, it’s quite *something* to be told I’m ‘welcome to join’ a community that I helped creating at its foundation 🔔 (as much as telling Native Americans that they are welcome to join America 🤡)
While DeSci aligns with open collaboration, following the #OpenScience and #OpenSource movements, that doesn’t mean its core principles should be diluted or redefined without regard for its origins: DeSci is a space aiming at empowering researchers and facilitating #research by *removing the middlemen* of research, made BY scientists FOR scientists, not for anyone that self identify as such (or a chat bot).
Let’s ensure we stay true to its intent while fostering #inclusivity in a way that respects science’s same principles of #integrity (proper citation and accreditation of previous work) and peer-to-peer verification & consensus (aka #PeerReview process) and #Web3 principles of decentralization of power and trust.
In science nobody discovers fire 🔥 we are all dwarfs on giants’ shoulders 🙏

DON’T twist my words for easy follows/likes pls🫠
Out there, beside me, other #DeSci OG builders poured years of labor+IQ into research & software to build THIS movement & space, certainly not to chase the hottest trend (also bc we created it 😅🥲)
A little bit of respect, thx🫡
fiesty.
Apparently DeSci is ruffling some "academics" feathers.. guess what??
This is only the start!!
"we academics" don't want you to be a part of the conversation, or the science. If you aren't in the club you should just go away.
As our friend Bianca says so clearly...She wants science to remain the property of the elite- "academics"
I refuse to let that be. DeSci invites all to come and build a better world!
Now is the time! DeSci or Die!!
