Happy New Year, DeSci community! 🎇🔬 Thank you for supporting open science, better research infrastructure, and new tools for sharing and accessing knowledge throughout 2025. We’re excited for what’s ahead - more collaboration, more innovation, and a more open science ecosystem in 2026. 🥂

Some researchers get more done by noon than others do all day. It’s because their mornings are structured around focus, clarity & small habits that compound. This blog breaks down what those habits look like, from research queues to literature windows to warm-start rituals.

Everyone claims their work is “novel.” But true novelty changes how a field thinks, asks questions or collects evidence. This post breaks down how to recognize genuine innovation, avoid buzzword traps and understand the leverage a study really provides.

Wishing everyone in the DeSci community a warm and joyful holiday season! 🎄💫 Thanks for supporting open science, transparent peer review, and better tools for researchers. Here’s to more innovation and collaboration in the year ahead. Happy Holidays from DeSci Labs! 🎁🔬
