Create a new use case page for Decentralized Science (DeSci)

[samajammin]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

An emerging use case of Ethereum & blockchain technology is "DeSci" or Decentralized Science.

This isn't a topic we currently cover on the site. I think there's opportunity to expose newcomers to this use case.

Describe the solution you'd like

Create new use case page (e.g. like DeFi, NFTs & DAOs) that introduces DeSci. This page should cover:

• What is DeSci?
• Why is it important? What are problems with existing industry practices?
• How does it work? How is Ethereum/blockchain technology used?
• What are specific industry applications? e.g. publishing, funding, IP ownership, data storage...
• Example projects in the space?
• Further reading to learn more
• ...anything else?

Hey @jmcook1186 - assigning to you for now 😄

Hi Sam and Joseph, this is awesome, happy to colab and jam! Let me know how it usually works, do you commit a draft version and have others commit proposed improvements/additions?

[samajammin]

Amazing, thanks for volunteering @vincentweisser. Would love to collaborate on this. I think your article linked above already covers a good chunk of the content we'd imagine having on this page.

I just created a desci branch (https://github.com/ethereum/ethereum-org-website/pull/6442) with a new page template to work off. Figure that might be a useful foundation to work off. Potential options here:

1. If you're comfortable with GitHub workflows, feel free to branch off that & open a PR into back into that branch.
2. If you'd prefer to just work on a draft in markdown file, feel free to edit this directly: https://notes.ethereum.org/@sam/desci

Happy to discuss in more detail 😄
