Monthly Memo (September 2022), an update on the Einsteinium Foundation's strategic initiatives

To the Einsteinium Community,

We are pleased to update you on the progress we are making with the Einsteinium Foundation’s strategic plan. As you are aware from our previous monthly memo’s, Einsteinium Foundation August 2022 Memo, our strategic priorities are in place and we are putting the finishing touches on the initiatives that will help us reach our current goals, with our directed focus on the release of Milevium (MIL).

As part of our strategic plan, we also will be launching and reinforcing a couple other initiatives. Some of these initiatives are already underway, like the Annual EMC2 award or the Einsteinium Fellowships. Others will take a longer view, like reviewing and improving our funding mechanisms to meet future expectations for our organization, and recruiting team members and world-class scientists to be a part of our scientific review and advocacy programs. Taken together, these initiatives will result in meaningful advances in our operations at the Einsteinium Foundation.

Altogether, our work is the product of broad engagement across the Einsteinium Foundation and our community and many, many hours of dedicated hard work, some of which we highlighted in our 2021 and 2020 annual letters.

They spearheaded the early growth, innovation, and assessment phase of our organization. Previous leadership was complemented and supported by the developers, community engagers, strategic planners, and senior leaders who focused on our vision for the Einsteinium Foundation, and which oversaw and facilitated the strategic development process. These groups were assisted by widespread input and participation throughout the community, including numerous conversations and brainstorming sessions. In light of this, we invite members of our community to complete a short survey https://bit.ly/3Sv9Zwf for us to receive feedback on our progress to date.

While we currently have limited information available at the MIL staging website, https://www.emc2.foundation/mil, look for the launch of the new website next month. It will be a record of our process, a repository for our plan, links to our source-code, and a source of updates on our progress moving forward. Importantly, we are very close to announcing a snapshot date for MIL, our new MIL website will host additional details of this major milestone. I look forward to sharing it and hope that you will visit the website regularly to review the steps of our plan and check on our progress in moving our strategic initiatives forward. We also invite everyone to follow MIL on social media with our Twitter at: twitter.com/mileviumcoin. 

We are very excited about our collective work and know that it will better prepare the Einsteinium Foundation to meet the challenges facing us. While these challenges may feel daunting, they also present a unique opportunity to shape an ambitious future. We are proud of the advances we have made thus far and look forward to continuing to work together as a community to implement our plan and position EMC2 and MIL as a leader in the scientific blockchain space. In doing so, we will remain true to our enduring mission while we chart a bold course forward. 

We hope that you will join us on this journey.

Signed,

EINSTEINIUM FOUNDATION — MONTHLY UPDATE FOR AUGUST 2022

To the Einsteinium community, 

Below is a brief overview of our actions over the past month of August 2022.  

Our team is currently navigating the final steps for MIL. Our focus remains on the delivery of MIL, an evolved blockchain forked from EMC2, we continue to finalize agreements and the next best steps as the summer months have led to a natural delay in operations. 

We continue to see a great interest in the EMC2 project and have kept an eye on the emerging #DeSci and DAO movement for opportunities to position ourselves in the future.

We have also begun to explore additional technical development in our MIL project to keep it competitive in the crypto space. This will require onboard new members of the team that have experience as software developers and will grow our technical core competency. Those interested should reach out to the Einsteinium Foundation’s team for more information.

Government funding of science is in crisis.

We would like to take a moment to reinvigorate why The Einsteinium Foundation does what it does. Much of our effort is designed to combat problems and growing inequities in what the traditional scientific funding institutions offer. The prevailing trends continue to be a deemphasis in the funding of fundamental scientific discovery as compared to translational research and in this way, science has become industrial. We also observe that the training of scientists suffers from a breakdown of the apprenticeship model into a form of the commodification of scientific training.

While our comments largely target gaps in the American funding system, we believe these issues in the training, development, and retention of scientific talent to be a global problem. We must ask ourselves, why do people leave science? As it stands, it is the alternative career in the funnel of scientific talent. While not everyone desires to be a university professor, and success should not solely be measured by the establishment of academic labs, we believe they are the future drivers of innovation and provide fertile soil and safety for the growth of new ideas which challenge old paradigms, and a renewable resource for basic science to move to targeted application at the bedside. We believe that part of the problem for so many uniquely qualified and highly skilled individuals leaving fundamental science is the intrinsic instability of their lives. Which is difficult to navigate with often distant geographic dislocation, and salaries that have failed to keep pace with inflation and cost of living. We discuss potential solutions in future announcements.

The rest of this monthly memo describes a number of ongoing initiates at The Einsteinium Foundation, each of which contributes to the strength of our operating ability and drives our core mission.

Einsteinium Internship program

The Einsteinium Foundation is looking to instate an internship program which would be a mentored program designed to provide current college students with hands-on experience and familiarize them with career opportunities in blockchain technology and philanthropic science. Students will be accepted into the internship program. Interns are matched with Einsteinium members according to their stated area of interest and work on an ongoing project in one of our programs. Students interested in this program should reach out to the Einsteinium Foundation at contact@emc2.foundation.

Open call for an Einsteinium (EMC2) NFT project

We have received a number of proposals regarding this, and they are currently being reviewed by our team. However, we continue to look for ideas in this creative and dynamic space.

We are looking for open collaboration on an NFT collection with members of the Einsteinium community. This collection should be designed to commemorate the Einsteinium team and projects that have been built and supported through Einsteinium’s technology. We are soliciting unique and visionary project ideas, interested parties should reach out to the Einsteinium Foundation at contact@emc2.foundation.

Einsteinium Fellowships

In 2018, the Einsteinium Foundation, a non-profit organization (NPO) and the world's first NPO to be backed by cryptocurrency, established our annual award program. We did this in order to offer grant money to directly support scientific research. We continue to balance our operations as a cryptocurrency and philanthropic organization. Therefore, on the anniversary of Einstein’s birthday, we announced that the Einsteinium Foundation will support the Einsteinium Fellowships, with details of this initiative described in our recent blog post. This marks a very special occasion for the Einsteinium Foundation as our organization's founding was inspired by Albert Einstein. For this program, there are no restrictions on the type of projects that are eligible but they must be scientific in nature and well-thought out. Additionally, eligible projects must follow a general ethos to push human knowledge forward, and strive to build us a better, safer and more stable future. In this regard, the fellowships support researchers across career stages including graduate, postgraduate, or professorships by offering funds to be utilized for the advancement of a scientific project. This year, we will be offering the Einsteinium Fellowships in the form of 10 fellowships to be awarded on a rolling basis throughout the year. Each fellow will be awarded 10,000 EMC2 in unrestricted funds. We encourage you to spread awareness of this initiative and if interested, to direct your application here.

Additionally, eligible projects must follow a general ethos to push human knowledge forward, and strive to build us a better, safer and more stable future. In this regard, the fellowships support researchers across career stages including graduate, postgraduate, or professorships by offering funds to be utilized for the advancement of a scientific project. This year, we will be offering the Einsteinium Fellowships in the form of 10 fellowships to be awarded on a rolling basis throughout the year. Each fellow will be awarded 10,000 EMC2 in unrestricted funds. We encourage you to spread awareness of this initiative and if interested, to direct your application here.

Einsteinium annual award.

We continue to balance our operations as both a cryptocurrency organization and a scientific philanthropic group. The Einsteinium Foundation continues to support scientific research through the use of our annual award program. Scientific research is a long-term investment in our future, and the future of our planet. The Einsteinium Foundation is proud to continue to announce an open call for applications for the Einsteinium Award. We are interested in supporting a broad range of scientific work. Therefore, applicants from an academic university or graduate studies program are always encouraged to apply. We constantly seek top-level research from students, postdocs, and professors from all over the world. In addition, we also look for citizen science projects which engage its members and empower people to careers within science. Owing to this, we also hope to support local STEM/STEAM education as this guarantees the next generation of scientific researchers and thought leaders.
