OpSci DAO Bulletin
Wow what a year!
The last OpSci DAO Hall of 2021 is being held next Tuesday, December 21st at 4pm UTC. It’s been a wild, unexpected ride, but things are just getting started.
We will be rounding out the year with a midterm presentation by OWF @Akshata on vScholar, a DeSci Library dApp for permanent archival of scientific pre-prints. Join in to get a recap of 2021 and an outlook for community activities in 2022.
