A team of 28 researchers, including @fabiantheis.bsky.social, built the first single-cell map of how human immune cells respond to cytokines. It provides a reference for decoding immune signaling in health and disease and for guiding therapeutic discovery.

How could we spotlight groundbreaking work that isn’t getting attention elsewhere?

A full day of discussions and networking left everyone energized and aligned on building better, faster and more open science. Thank you to everyone who joined us for SciCon 2025. See you at the next edition!

SciCon 2025 brought scientists, funders and founders together in one room for a full day of discussions. Here are the highlights from an event that left everyone energized. 1/8

We’re looking forward to a candid conversation with major science funders about how they allocate capital and measure impact. Speakers: • Jordan Dworkin, PhD | Coefficient Giving • Kumar Garg | Renaissance Philanthropy • Bishakha Mona, PhD | Science Philanthropy Alliance

Faster and more transparent science funding isn’t just theoretical, we’ve seen it work. We’re bringing researchers and funders together to discuss practical alternatives to traditional grants.

Can (and should) academia be decentralized? Our panel of experts will assess the feasibility of decentralization in academia and what it would mean for science.

We’re honored to announce Professor John Ioannidis will deliver a keynote at SciCon 2025. Dr. Ioannidis is Stanford professor and one of the most-cited scientists. He has delivered ~700 invited and honorary lectures and is globally recognized as a leading voice in reproducibility and meta-research.

Do you have a question for our founders? Submit it for the Fireside Chat. We’ll ask selected questions live on stage during the Fireside Chat with Brian Armstrong and Patrick Joyce. 🗓️ Deadline: Nov 28, 2025 📩 Submit here: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1...

SciCon 2025 will kickoff with a Fireside Chat featuring ResearchHub co-founders Brian Armstrong and Patrick Joyce. They will discuss ResearchHub’s vision for enabling faster, more open, incentive-aligned science.

We are convening top leaders in open science, publishing, and research funding for a full day of dialogue and open networking. Explore the speaker lineup below.

Researchers have developed the first 3D human brain-on-a-chip with all major cell types and a working blood-brain barrier. This makes it possible to test whether specific drugs can cross the barrier and work as treatments.

Modern proteins are built from a set of 20 amino acids, but “early Earth” likely had only about 10 of them. Using AI-based protein design tools, researchers show it is possible to build stable, well-folded proteins from just this simpler set.

New research shows that stress biases the hippocampus toward spotting patterns rather than storing detailed memories. This shift helps the brain anticipate what’s coming next, but at the cost of recalling precise details.

Researchers report the first evidence that immune cells from the blood and skull can enter the brain without a clear blood-brain barrier leak while remaining molecularly distinct from microglia. This hints at gentler brain immune therapies compared to irradiation or heavy chemo.

30 days until SciCon 2025. ResearchHub’s 4th annual conference bringing top scientists, founders, and funders together for a full day of discussion and open networking.

A new preprint shows that a common enzyme can “unzip” polyurethane foams (used in furniture and insulation) into its original components to remake fresh foam. If this scales, it points to true closed-loop foam recycling, less landfill, and less need for new petrochemicals.

A new preprint establishes the theoretical foundation for photonic extreme learning machines that compute by propagating light through diffusive media.

What are the highest-potential areas of research that are underfunded today? We asked AI to imagine the answers discussed by researchers on ResearchHub.

Intermittent fasting leads to changes in metabolism, immunity, epigenetics, and the microbiome. This preprint followed 114 women for 6 months, providing molecular evidence behind this popular practice. Iron balance and immune remodeling are key to its health benefits.

Our 4th annual conference, SciCon, takes place on December 4, 2025 with the leading minds in science and tech. 🎥 It’s invite-only, with limited seats. But the conversations matter to everyone, so recordings will be shared publicly. Speaker lineup coming soon.

We’ve paid out over $890,000 to peer reviewers. • 10-day avg. turnaround • 9010 reviews completed We’re celebrating #PeerReviewWeek by rethinking incentives in peer review. On ResearchHub, peer review is fast, open, and paid.

The Coinbase listing of ResearchCoin (RSC) makes it far more accessible to everyday users and paves the way to onboard the next wave of scientists into the ResearchHub ecosystem.

Purdue PhD student Grigorii Rudakov explains why progress in biomedical research is often slow.

Basic science creates the biggest breakthroughs. Yet it’s the most underfunded type of research. Researchers from the Wolfram Institute seek funding to explore how DeSci DAOs can realign incentives for better funding and avoid the traps of traditional models. 🧵 1/8

Milestone: Over $1 million in research funding deployed on ResearchHub.

Turns out that I had some research tokens on @researchhubf.bsky.social -- earned from my past publications(!!) -- that I could use to fund new research proposals submitted by others. I just did exactly that. Why have you not? Be the change you want to see. www.researchhub.com/fund/4261/ef...

Why fund science through ResearchHub?

This $33,000 study could change how psychedelics are made. Instead of synthesizing and testing blindly, it uses quantum chemistry + AI to predict which compounds are safe before they're made. 1/7

A $644 nano-grant might not sound like much. But it could pave the way for new peptide-based therapies targeting drug-resistant Tuberculosis, still responsible for over 1.3 million deaths each year. 🧵 1/6

Most people think innovation comes from working harder. This new study (from our collaboration with @cos.io‬) indicates otherwise. Innovation starts with setting the right goals. 🧵 x.com/ResearchHub... 1/8
