From Hypothesis to Funded Science: a hands-on workshop with Bio × Lossfunk
Got a research idea? Let's see how far we can get with it in one session.
Bio and Lossfunk are running a hands-on workshop in Bangalore that takes an idea from first hypothesis all the way to a live research project. Along the way we'll use AI tools to explore it and look at how a project like it can get funded.
This isn't a talk. We work through it together as one group, using real tools, and end up with a real project.
What we'll do
Shape a hypothesis. As a group, we pick a research question and turn it into one or two testable hypotheses.
Put it on OpenLabs. We register it as a live project on OpenLabs, where research projects live, get shared and get discovered. Then we look at how others find, follow and engage with it.
Explore it with BIOS. BIOS is Bio's AI scientist, connected to OpenLabs. We use it to dig into the hypothesis and have a go at designing binders together.
Look at the path to funding. We go over how a project like this can move toward funding through the Bio ecosystem.
Wrap up and Q&A. We recap what we built and talk about how you can take your own ideas further.
What you'll leave with

A clear picture of how to go from idea to experiment to funding with your own research
Who it's for
Researchers, residents, builders and anyone who already thinks in hypotheses and wants a faster way from idea to experiment. You don't need any background in decentralized science (DeSci).
Bring: a laptop if you'd like to follow along.
