Why Smart Scientists Are Leaving Universities

What if science wasn't locked inside institutions?

In this powerful conversation, Boost VC’s Adam Draper and Heterodox Labs’ Alexander Vawter drop the mic on why academia is broken - and how rebels, tinkerers, and bio-optimists are building the future of science outside the system.

Hosted by Ryan Bethencourt, this episode dives deep into the rise of virtual labs, scientific creator economies, and why punk rock may be a better model for science than peer-reviewed journals.

From comic books to Coinbase, from peptides to Prosperas, this is one of the most mind-expanding discussions on science, tech, and decentralized innovation you’ll watch this year.
