Here's how our project supports DeSci's mission and goals:

1. Democratizing Scientific Knowledge: By hosting monthly meetups, workshops, and hands-on sessions, we create an open environment that encourages the sharing of ideas, research, and resources. We also record all talks and make them available online, ensuring that valuable knowledge is accessible to a wider audience.

2. Fostering Collaboration: Our meetups serve as a platform for individuals from various backgrounds to connect, exchange ideas, and work together on scientific projects. By partnering with local universities, research institutions, and industry experts, we further facilitate collaborative opportunities and foster a strong network within the scientific community.

3. Inclusive Community Building: Decentralized Science NYC is dedicated to engaging beginners and creating a welcoming atmosphere for individuals from all backgrounds. We strive to provide the necessary skills, support, and confidence for newcomers to actively contribute to scientific discussions and projects.

4. Empowering Individuals: Through mentorship programs and practical skill-building workshops, we empower individuals to take an active role in scientific endeavors, fostering a sense of ownership and agency in the scientific process.

5. Promoting Decentralized Technologies: Our project emphasizes the importance of decentralized technologies and open-source tools in advancing scientific research, ensuring that scientific knowledge remains accessible and decentralized.

By aligning our project with DeSci's mission and goals, we contribute to the broader movement for a more open, collaborative, and inclusive scientific community. With Decentralized Science NYC Meetup, we aim to empower individuals to engage in scientific discovery and drive forward the future of decentralized science.
