Science is amazing — but scientific discourse is broken 🫤  So let's fix it.  



"We're calling it a social medium for science, but it's really so much more. We're thinking more broadly about the social functions of science and all the things that scientists do — and trying to bring them into one place." – Alex Washburne, co-founder of Agora  



Right now our Accelerator team is working with Alex and the Agora team to design and build version 1 of this vision.   

Watch and find out:

• when Alex realised that scientists like himself needed a better platform

• what's wrong (and right) with current social media  

• where he finds inspiration for Agora's solution

• how the team has narrowed the 'big vision' down to a specific feature set for the MVP  



"We have this huge vision. I think we can revolutionize science for the 21st century, but that's step 100. And so the real challenge is finding which exact steps are 1 through 10, those will get us to 10-50 and 50-100. What really helped us was talking with people who had experience doing this before." – Alex  



Stay tuned to follow Agora's journey to making science better for all of us 🚀
