Lift Conference2014.11.20---Oscar Jasklowski:如何群众募资促进创新的研究

As recently as three years ago, Oscar, who represents Experiment at Lift Basel, was making bone glue. You read that correctly - as a graduate student in the bioadhesives lab at the University of Utah, he was studying how and why things stick. He took a break from his studies for the opportunity to work at Experiment, a crowdfunding platform dedicated to showcasing and funding science research. While he’s on indefinite (but not permanent!) hiatus from the lab, his focus is on co-leading Experiment’s growth.Because as a society, we are in a position to study, learn, and innovate more than ever before. Yet there is one major bottleneck: funding. Experiment, an open and democratic platform for funding science, is on a mission to change just that. Researchers from over 150 institutions and universities are using the San Francisco startup to fund important seed-stage research that would otherwise go unfunded.
就在三年前，奥斯卡，谁代表实验在电梯巴塞尔，是使骨胶。你读到正确的 - 作为一个研究生在犹他州立大学的生物粘附剂的实验室，他正在研究的东西是如何以及为什么坚持。他把他的研究突破的机会，工作在实验，专门展示和资助科学研究的一个群众募资平台。虽然他是在不确定的（但不是永久的！）的间隙从实验室，他的重点是共同领导实验的growth.Because作为一个社会，我们是在一个位置，学习，学习，创新比以往任何时候。然而，有一个主要的瓶颈：资金。实验中，一个开放和民主的平台，为资金的科学，是一个使命来改变这一点。来自150多个机构和大学的研究人员使用的是旧金山的启动资金重要的种子阶段的研究，否则将得不到资金。
