Overview: Fifth in LPBI Group’s five-article series on AI-ready digital IP assets for pharma. This piece spotlights IP Asset Class V—7,500 expert-selected biological images in the Digital Art Media Gallery—as proprietary training data and “prior art” for multimodal AI foundation models in healthcare. Leveraging a November 18, 2025, Grok prompt on Pfizer’s AI efforts, it maps the gallery to pharma applications, emphasizing visual data’s role in enhancing generative AI for diagnostics, drug discovery, and article drafting. Unlike text-heavy prior classes, this focuses on image-caption pairs for ingestion into platforms like Charlie, positioning them as a “treasure trove” for ethical, diverse AI training.Main Thesis and Key Arguments

  • Core Idea: LPBI’s 7,500 biological images (with captions) serve as defensible, expert-curated prior art and training data for Big Pharma AI, enabling multimodal inference that combines visuals with clinical insights—outpacing generic datasets by injecting human-selected domain knowledge.
  • Value Proposition: The ~8,000-image gallery (actual 7,500 noted) is a ready-to-ingest visual corpus for platforms like Pfizer’s Charlie, generating medical drafts and accelerating R&D. Valued within the series’ $50MM-equivalent portfolio; unique as embedded prior art in original texts, supporting ethical AI with diverse, ontology-mapped visuals.
  • Broader Context: Part of ten IP classes, with five (I-V, X) AI-primed; complements text assets (e.g., 6,250 articles, 48 e-books) by adding multimodal depth. Highlights live ontology for semantic integration, contrasting open-source data with proprietary, safe-for-healthcare inputs.

@Grok SOURCE:


Overview: Third in LPBI Group’s five-article series on AI-ready digital IP assets for Pharma companies. This installment highlights IP Asset Class III—100 e-proceedings and 50 tweet collections from top global biotech/medical conferences (2013-2025)—as a proprietary, expert-curated corpus of frontier science insights. Using a November 18, 2025, Grok prompt on Pfizer’s AI efforts, it maps these assets to pharma applications, stressing their role in training/inference for foundation models. Unlike prior classes (journal articles, e-books), this focuses on real-time event captures (e.g., speaker quotes, agendas) as unique, non-replicable data for efficiency, education, and branding in AI-driven R&D.

Main Thesis and Key Arguments

  • Core Idea: LPBI’s IP Asset Class III assets provide the “only written record” of +100 top conferences, with tweet collections as verbatim speaker quotes/affiliations—ideal for ingesting into AI platforms to amplify human expertise in combinatorial predictions. This supports Pfizer’s goals like 16,000-hour savings via generative AI, enabling subject-specific training (e.g., immunotherapy) and future agenda building.
  • Value Proposition: 150 total assets (100 e-proceedings + 50 tweet collections) form a live repository of domain knowledge, mapped to ontology for immediate AI use. Equivalent to $50MM value (aligned with series benchmarks); unique for branding (“make or break”) as no other source offers such curated event intel. Part of five AI-ready classes (I, II, III, V, X) for healthcare models.
  • Broader Context: Builds on series by emphasizing event-based data for partnerships/education; contrasts generic datasets with defensible, ethical expert interpretations for global equity (e.g., Pfizer’s AI Learning Lab).

Article Conclusions by @grok:

Conclusions and Implications
LPBI’s e-books are “ready-to-ingest” for Big Pharma AI, enabling from efficiency gains to diagnostic breakthroughs. No prior comprehensive ML attempts highlight untapped value [by Big Pharma. However, we conducted in-house ML on two of the e-Books]; bilingual editions support global/equitable applications. Technical Implications: Powers multilingual small models for precision medicine. Business Implications: Fuels ROI on investments like Pfizer’s $500M push; licensing potential for partnerships. Unique Insight: In AI’s scale race, these assets provide a “rare moat” via curated human opus—unlike raw data, they embed clinical foresight for transformative inference. The article is promotional yet substantive, with dense Amazon links and calls to resources (e.g., BioMed e-Series page, IP portfolio). It builds on the prior Class I piece by shifting to long-form, creative text for deeper AI personalization.

Article Summary of the ArticleTitle: by @grok
AI Initiatives in Big Pharma @Grok prompt & Proprietary Training Data and Inference by LPBI Group’s IP Asset Class II: 48 e-Books: English Edition & Spanish Edition. 152,000 pages downloaded under pay-per-view

@Grok SOURCE:


Overview: This is the second installment in a five-article series on LPBI Group’s digital IP assets for AI in pharma. It focuses on IP Asset Class II—48 e-books (bilingual English/Spanish editions)—as a proprietary, expert-curated textual corpus for training and inference in healthcare AI models. Drawing from a November 18, 2025, Grok prompt on Pfizer’s AI efforts, the article maps e-book content to pharma applications, highlighting untapped ML/NLP potential for small language models. Unlike Class I (journal articles), this emphasizes long-form editorial creativity and bilingual scalability, positioning the assets as a “defensible moat” for Big Pharma’s AI acceleration.
Main Thesis and Key Arguments

  • Core Idea: LPBI’s e-books, with 152,000 pay-per-view downloads (largest for any single Amazon e-publisher since 2016), offer domain-specific, human-curated content (e.g., conceptual tables of contents as “masterpieces” reflecting patient care visions) that outperforms generic data in AI training. This enables precise inference for drug discovery, diagnostics, and efficiency, fostering human-AI synergy.
  • Value Proposition: The BioMed e-Series (5 series: A-E, each bundled as a corpus) totals 48 volumes from collaborations with top scientists/MD/PhDs. Editor-in-Chief’s expertise (UC Berkeley PhD ’83, decision science algorithms, clinical nursing) infuses “big-picture” insights. Valued for multilingual models; only two volumes (Cancer Vol. 1, Genomics Vol. 2) have seen ML analysis—full application could “revolutionize” disease detection.
  • Broader Context: Part of LPBI’s 10 IP classes; five (I, II, III, V, X) are AI-ready via living ontology. Contrasts with open-source data by emphasizing ethical, diverse, creative inputs for foundation models.

AI Initiatives in Big Pharma (Focus on Pfizer)Reuses the Grok prompt on Pfizer’s AI, with key highlights (verbatim from article’s table):

Clinical Trials & Regulatory Efficiency
(No specific mapping provided.)
Disease Detection & Diagnostics (ATTR-CM, rare diseases)
Untapped: No prior ML on all books/volumes/series; Full analysis promises revolution in detection/diagnostics.
Generative AI & Operational Tools (Charlie, AWS, etc.)
Ingest all book content into Charlie Platform for centralized ML.
Partnerships & Education (IMI, AIPM, webinars)
e-Books as education source; Offer for partnership sustenance.
Strategic Focus ($500M reinvestment, ethics)
Bundles enable diverse, ethical DBs; URLs for English Series: A (Cardiovascular, $515): [link]; B (Genomics, $200): [link]; C (Cancer, $175): [link]; D (Immunology, $325): [link]; E (Patient-Centered, $274): [link]. Spanish equivalents implied.

Methodologies and Frameworks

  • AI Training Pipeline: Package e-books (textual corpus) for pre-training (ontology-mapped ingestion), fine-tuning (e.g., ML on series bundles), and inference (e.g., diagnostics queries). Bilingual support for global models.
  • ML/NLP Demo: Applied to two volumes; scale to 48 books via GPT for small language models (5 corpuses/language).
  • Productivity Model: Amplifies Pfizer’s savings (16,000 hours, $7.7B total) by injecting expert creativity; ethical focus on diverse, compliant data for equity (e.g., AI Learning Lab).
  • Insights: Quotes editor’s vision as “epitome of human creativity”; predicts full ML rollout as first-of-its-kind revolution, differing from Class I’s article-based ontology by focusing on editorial depth.

Conclusions and Implications

LPBI’s e-books are “ready-to-ingest” for Big Pharma AI, enabling from efficiency gains to diagnostic breakthroughs. No prior comprehensive ML attempts highlight untapped value [by Big Pharma. However, we conducted in-house ML on two of the e-Books]; bilingual editions support global/equitable applications. Technical Implications: Powers multilingual small models for precision medicine. Business Implications: Fuels ROI on investments like Pfizer’s $500M push; licensing potential for partnerships. Unique Insight: In AI’s scale race, these assets provide a “rare moat” via curated human opus—unlike raw data, they embed clinical foresight for transformative inference. The article is promotional yet substantive, with dense Amazon links and calls to resources (e.g., BioMed e-Series page, IP portfolio). It builds on the prior Class I piece by shifting to long-form, creative text for deeper AI personalization.
If you’d like comparisons across the series, deeper dives into specific e-books, or analysis of bilingual AI potential, just say the word!

AI Initiatives in Big Pharma @Grok prompt & Proprietary Training Data and Inference by LPBI Group’s IP Asset Class I: PharmaceuticalIntelligence.com Journal, 2.5MM Views, 6,250 Scientific articles and Live Ontology

Publication Date: November 22, 2025

Author/Curator: Aviva Lev-Ari, PhD, RN

Overview: This article, part of a series on LPBI Group’s digital IP assets, explores how the group’s proprietary content—particularly IP Asset Class I (PharmaceuticalIntelligence.com Journal)—can serve as high-value training data for AI models in the pharmaceutical industry. It uses a Grok AI prompt to detail Pfizer’s AI efforts and maps them to the journal’s expert-curated content, emphasizing the shift from generic AI to domain-specific, human-enhanced models for drug discovery, clinical trials, and beyond. The piece positions LPBI’s assets as “defensible” resources for pre-training, fine-tuning, and inference in healthcare foundation models, contrasting them with public-domain data.Main Thesis and Key Arguments

  • Core Idea: Traditional AI in pharma often relies on combinatorial predictions from vast but uncurated data, leading to inefficiencies. LPBI’s corpus, with 70% expert interpretations (curations and opinions), injects human creativity and clinical insights, enabling more productive AI outputs. This could spark a “scientific revolution” by powering models like Grok or Claude, boosting knowledge worker efficiency and reducing R&D costs.
  • Value Proposition: The journal’s 6,250 articles (30% scientific reports, 70% expert analyses) form a 9GB digital repository with a live ontology for semantic mapping. Valued at ~$50MM (based on $30/article download equivalent), it supports AI applications across gene-disease-drug dyads, NLP for rare diseases, and regulatory content generation.
  • Broader Context: Part of a five-article series showcasing LPBI’s ten IP classes (e.g., e-books, podcasts, images) as ready-to-ingest assets for Big Pharma’s AI strategies.

AI Initiatives in Big Pharma (Focus on Pfizer)The article leverages a November 18, 2025, Grok prompt (“What are PFIZER’s AI INITIATIVES?”) to outline Pfizer’s efforts, sourced from real-time AI generation. Key highlights include:

Initiative Category
Description
Key Metrics/Examples
Generative AI Tools
Automates literature searches, data analysis, and report writing.
Saves 16,000 hours annually; integrates with Pfizer’s Charlie Platform for compliant content.
Drug Discovery Acceleration

Part of $500M R&D reinvestment by 2026; contributes to $7.7B in cost savings.
Clinical Trials & Regulatory Efficiency
Predictive modeling for patient recruitment, decentralized trials, and inventory management.
Partnerships like IMI Big Picture; AI for faster FDA submissions.
Disease Detection & Diagnostics
Focus on rare diseases (e.g., ATTR-CM via transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy initiative).
NLP and ML for early detection; equitable care via AI Learning Lab.
Operational & Strategic Tools
Scientific Data Cloud with AWS ML/SageMaker; ethical AI with diverse datasets.
Webinars for education; global expansions (e.g., China’s CRISPR AI).

No other pharma companies are deeply covered, but the framework implies applicability to peers like those in prior LPBI articles.Mapping to LPBI’s Proprietary DataA central table links Pfizer’s initiatives to the journal’s content, demonstrating ingestion potential:

Pfizer AI Initiative
LPBI Journal Alignment
Productivity Boost
Generative AI for searches
Ontology-optimized semantic searches across 6,250 articles.
Enhances accuracy in 425 AI-related articles.
Drug Discovery ML
1,114 articles on discovery; dyad mapping (e.g., gene-drug).
Supports ML training on precision medicine (547 articles).
Clinical Trials Efficiency
3,615 “Disease” articles; NLP for trial simulations.
Reduces time via expert-curated protocols.
Rare Disease Diagnostics
Content on ATTR-CM and similar (e.g., 432 CRISPR articles).
Fine-tuning for targeted inference.
Operational Platforms
Full corpus ingestion for Charlie-like labs.
2.5MM views indicate high-engagement data.

This shows how the live ontology enables context classification, outperforming frequency-based AI.Methodologies and Frameworks

  • AI Training Pipeline: Ingest corpus for pre-training (broad knowledge), fine-tuning (domain-specific), and inference (real-time queries). Use prompts by research categories; apply ML across dyads; generate lifecycle content.
  • Productivity Model: 70% expert curations amplify human-AI synergy, avoiding “futile” combinatorial results. Ethical focus: Diverse, compliant data for global equity.
  • Insights: Quotes Dr. Stephen J. Williams: Foundation models thrive on “gifted humans’ creativity,” not just scale. Predicts vast productivity gains (e.g., beyond Pfizer’s 16,000 hours saved).

Conclusions and Implications

The article concludes that LPBI’s assets are primed for Big Pharma adoption, enabling AI to evolve from tools to “knowledge amplifiers.” It hints at licensing opportunities without explicit calls to action. Technical Implications: Improves AI precision in complex pharma tasks like rare disease modeling. Business Implications: Accelerates ROI on AI investments (e.g., Pfizer’s $500M push) while ensuring defensible IP. Unique Insight: In an era of open-source AI, curated expert data like this is a “rare moat” for competitive edge.Overall, the piece is insightful for AI-pharma intersections, blending real-world examples with promotional asset positioning. It’s dense with links to LPBI resources (e.g., e-books, podcasts) for deeper dives.

Eight Subcellular Pathologies driving Chronic Metabolic Diseases – Methods for Mapping Bioelectronic Adjustable Measurements as potential new Therapeutics: Impact on Pharmaceuticals in Use

Eight Subcellular Pathologies driving Chronic Metabolic Diseases – Methods for Mapping Bioelectronic Adjustable Measurements as potential new Therapeutics: Impact on Pharmaceuticals in Use

Curators:

 

THE VOICE of Aviva Lev-Ari, PhD, RN

In this curation we wish to present two breaking through goals:

Goal 1:

Exposition of a new direction of research leading to a more comprehensive understanding of Metabolic Dysfunctional Diseases that are implicated in effecting the emergence of the two leading causes of human mortality in the World in 2023: (a) Cardiovascular Diseases, and (b) Cancer

Goal 2:

Development of Methods for Mapping Bioelectronic Adjustable Measurements as potential new Therapeutics for these eight subcellular causes of chronic metabolic diseases. It is anticipated that it will have a potential impact on the future of Pharmaceuticals to be used, a change from the present time current treatment protocols for Metabolic Dysfunctional Diseases.

According to Dr. Robert Lustig, M.D, an American pediatric endocrinologist. He is Professor emeritus of Pediatrics in the Division of Endocrinology at the University of California, San Francisco, where he specialized in neuroendocrinology and childhood obesity, there are eight subcellular pathologies that drive chronic metabolic diseases.

These eight subcellular pathologies can’t be measured at present time.

In this curation we will attempt to explore methods of measurement for each of these eight pathologies by harnessing the promise of the emerging field known as Bioelectronics.

Unmeasurable eight subcellular pathologies that drive chronic metabolic diseases

  1. Glycation
  2. Oxidative Stress
  3. Mitochondrial dysfunction [beta-oxidation Ac CoA malonyl fatty acid]
  4. Insulin resistance/sensitive [more important than BMI], known as a driver to cancer development
  5. Membrane instability
  6. Inflammation in the gut [mucin layer and tight junctions]
  7. Epigenetics/Methylation
  8. Autophagy [AMPKbeta1 improvement in health span]

Diseases that are not Diseases: no drugs for them, only diet modification will help

These eight Subcellular Pathologies driving Chronic Metabolic Diseases are becoming our focus for exploration of the promise of Bioelectronics for two pursuits:

  1. Will Bioelectronics be deemed helpful in measurement of each of the eight pathological processes that underlie and that drive the chronic metabolic syndrome(s) and disease(s)?
  2. IF we will be able to suggest new measurements to currently unmeasurable health harming processes THEN we will attempt to conceptualize new therapeutic targets and new modalities for therapeutics delivery – WE ARE HOPEFUL

In the Bioelecronics domain we are inspired by the work of the following three research sources:

Ten TakeAway Points of Dr. Lustig’s talk on role of diet on the incidence of Type II Diabetes

 

  1. 25% of US children have fatty liver
  2. Type II diabetes can be manifested from fatty live with 151 million  people worldwide affected moving up to 568 million in 7 years
  3. A common myth is diabetes due to overweight condition driving the metabolic disease
  4. There is a trend of ‘lean’ diabetes or diabetes in lean people, therefore body mass index not a reliable biomarker for risk for diabetes
  5. Thirty percent of ‘obese’ people just have high subcutaneous fat.  the visceral fat is more problematic
  6. there are people who are ‘fat’ but insulin sensitive while have growth hormone receptor defects.  Points to other issues related to metabolic state other than insulin and potentially the insulin like growth factors
  7. At any BMI some patients are insulin sensitive while some resistant
  8. Visceral fat accumulation may be more due to chronic stress condition
  9. Fructose can decrease liver mitochondrial function
  10. A methionine and choline deficient diet can lead to rapid NASH development

Will Web 3.0 Do Away With Science 2.0? Is Science Falling Behind?

Curator: Stephen J. Williams, Ph.D.

UPDATED 4/06/2022

A while back (actually many moons ago) I had put on two posts on this site:

Scientific Curation Fostering Expert Networks and Open Innovation: Lessons from Clive Thompson and others

Twitter is Becoming a Powerful Tool in Science and Medicine

Each of these posts were on the importance of scientific curation of findings within the realm of social media and the Web 2.0; a sub-environment known throughout the scientific communities as Science 2.0, in which expert networks collaborated together to produce massive new corpus of knowledge by sharing their views, insights on peer reviewed scientific findings. And through this new media, this process of curation would, in itself generate new ideas and new directions for research and discovery.

The platform sort of looked like the image below:

 

This system lied above a platform of the original Science 1.0, made up of all the scientific journals, books, and traditional literature:

In the old Science 1.0 format, scientific dissemination was in the format of hard print journals, and library subscriptions were mandatory (and eventually expensive). Open Access has tried to ameliorate the expense problem.

Previous image source: PeerJ.com

To index the massive and voluminous research and papers beyond the old Dewey Decimal system, a process of curation was mandatory. The dissemination of this was a natural for the new social media however the cost had to be spread out among numerous players. Journals, faced with the high costs of subscriptions and their only way to access this new media as an outlet was to become Open Access, a movement first sparked by journals like PLOS and PeerJ but then begrudingly adopted throughout the landscape. But with any movement or new adoption one gets the Good the Bad and the Ugly (as described in my cited, above, Clive Thompson article). The bad side of Open Access Journals were

  1. costs are still assumed by the individual researcher not by the journals
  2. the arise of the numerous Predatory Journals

 

Even PeerJ, in their column celebrating an anniversary of a year’s worth of Open Access success stories, lamented the key issues still facing Open Access in practice

  • which included the cost and the rise of predatory journals.

In essence, Open Access and Science 2.0 sprung full force BEFORE anyone thought of a way to defray the costs

 

Can Web 3.0 Finally Offer a Way to Right the Issues Facing High Costs of Scientific Publishing?

What is Web 3.0?

From Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web3

Web 1.0 and Web 2.0 refer to eras in the history of the Internet as it evolved through various technologies and formats. Web 1.0 refers roughly to the period from 1991 to 2004, where most websites were static webpages, and the vast majority of users were consumers, not producers, of content.[6][7] Web 2.0 is based around the idea of “the web as platform”,[8] and centers on user-created content uploaded to social-networking services, blogs, and wikis, among other services.[9] Web 2.0 is generally considered to have begun around 2004, and continues to the current day.[8][10][4]

Terminology[edit]

The term “Web3”, specifically “Web 3.0”, was coined by Ethereum co-founder Gavin Wood in 2014.[1] In 2020 and 2021, the idea of Web3 gained popularity[citation needed]. Particular interest spiked towards the end of 2021, largely due to interest from cryptocurrency enthusiasts and investments from high-profile technologists and companies.[4][5] Executives from venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz travelled to Washington, D.C. in October 2021 to lobby for the idea as a potential solution to questions about Internet regulation with which policymakers have been grappling.[11]

Web3 is distinct from Tim Berners-Lee‘s 1999 concept for a semantic web, which has also been called “Web 3.0”.[12] Some writers referring to the decentralized concept usually known as “Web3” have used the terminology “Web 3.0”, leading to some confusion between the two concepts.[2][3] Furthermore, some visions of Web3 also incorporate ideas relating to the semantic web.[13][14]

Concept[edit]

Web3 revolves around the idea of decentralization, which proponents often contrast with Web 2.0, wherein large amounts of the web’s data and content are centralized in the fairly small group of companies often referred to as Big Tech.[4]

Specific visions for Web3 differ, but all are heavily based in blockchain technologies, such as various cryptocurrencies and non-fungible tokens (NFTs).[4] Bloomberg described Web3 as an idea that “would build financial assets, in the form of tokens, into the inner workings of almost anything you do online”.[15] Some visions are based around the concepts of decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs).[16] Decentralized finance (DeFi) is another key concept; in it, users exchange currency without bank or government involvement.[4] Self-sovereign identity allows users to identify themselves without relying on an authentication system such as OAuth, in which a trusted party has to be reached in order to assess identity.[17]

Reception[edit]

Technologists and journalists have described Web3 as a possible solution to concerns about the over-centralization of the web in a few “Big Tech” companies.[4][11] Some have expressed the notion that Web3 could improve data securityscalability, and privacy beyond what is currently possible with Web 2.0 platforms.[14] Bloomberg states that sceptics say the idea “is a long way from proving its use beyond niche applications, many of them tools aimed at crypto traders”.[15] The New York Times reported that several investors are betting $27 billion that Web3 “is the future of the internet”.[18][19]

Some companies, including Reddit and Discord, have explored incorporating Web3 technologies into their platforms in late 2021.[4][20] After heavy user backlash, Discord later announced they had no plans to integrate such technologies.[21] The company’s CEO, Jason Citron, tweeted a screenshot suggesting it might be exploring integrating Web3 into their platform. This led some to cancel their paid subscriptions over their distaste for NFTs, and others expressed concerns that such a change might increase the amount of scams and spam they had already experienced on crypto-related Discord servers.[20] Two days later, Citron tweeted that the company had no plans to integrate Web3 technologies into their platform, and said that it was an internal-only concept that had been developed in a company-wide hackathon.[21]

Some legal scholars quoted by The Conversation have expressed concerns over the difficulty of regulating a decentralized web, which they reported might make it more difficult to prevent cybercrimeonline harassmenthate speech, and the dissemination of child abuse images.[13] But, the news website also states that, “[decentralized web] represents the cyber-libertarian views and hopes of the past that the internet can empower ordinary people by breaking down existing power structures.” Some other critics of Web3 see the concept as a part of a cryptocurrency bubble, or as an extension of blockchain-based trends that they see as overhyped or harmful, particularly NFTs.[20] Some critics have raised concerns about the environmental impact of cryptocurrencies and NFTs. Others have expressed beliefs that Web3 and the associated technologies are a pyramid scheme.[5]

Kevin Werbach, author of The Blockchain and the New Architecture of Trust,[22] said that “many so-called ‘web3’ solutions are not as decentralized as they seem, while others have yet to show they are scalable, secure and accessible enough for the mass market”, adding that this “may change, but it’s not a given that all these limitations will be overcome”.[23]

David Gerard, author of Attack of the 50 Foot Blockchain,[24] told The Register that “web3 is a marketing buzzword with no technical meaning. It’s a melange of cryptocurrencies, smart contracts with nigh-magical abilities, and NFTs just because they think they can sell some monkeys to morons”.[25]

Below is an article from MarketWatch.com Distributed Ledger series about the different forms and cryptocurrencies involved

From Marketwatch: https://www.marketwatch.com/story/bitcoin-is-so-2021-heres-why-some-institutions-are-set-to-bypass-the-no-1-crypto-and-invest-in-ethereum-other-blockchains-next-year-11639690654?mod=home-page

by Frances Yue, Editor of Distributed Ledger, Marketwatch.com

Clayton Gardner, co-CEO of crypto investment management firm Titan, told Distributed Ledger that as crypto embraces broader adoption, he expects more institutions to bypass bitcoin and invest in other blockchains, such as Ethereum, Avalanche, and Terra in 2022. which all boast smart-contract features.

Bitcoin traditionally did not support complex smart contracts, which are computer programs stored on blockchains, though a major upgrade in November might have unlocked more potential.

“Bitcoin was originally seen as a macro speculative asset by many funds and for many it still is,” Gardner said. “If anything solidifies its use case, it’s a store of value. It’s not really used as originally intended, perhaps from a medium of exchange perspective.”

For institutions that are looking for blockchains that can “produce utility and some intrinsic value over time,” they might consider some other smart contract blockchains that have been driving the growth of decentralized finance and web 3.0, the third generation of the Internet, according to Gardner. 

Bitcoin is still one of the most secure blockchains, but I think layer-one, layer-two blockchains beyond Bitcoin, will handle the majority of transactions and activities from NFT (nonfungible tokens) to DeFi,“ Gardner said. “So I think institutions see that and insofar as they want to put capital to work in the coming months, I think that could be where they just pump the capital.”

Decentralized social media? 

The price of Decentralized Social, or DeSo, a cryptocurrency powering a blockchain that supports decentralized social media applications, surged roughly 74% to about $164 from $94, after Deso was listed at Coinbase Pro on Monday, before it fell to about $95, according to CoinGecko.

In the eyes of Nader Al-Naji, head of the DeSo foundation, decentralized social media has the potential to be “a lot bigger” than decentralized finance.

“Today there are only a few companies that control most of what we see online,” Al-Naji told Distributed Ledger in an interview. But DeSo is “creating a lot of new ways for creators to make money,” Al-Naji said.

“If you find a creator when they’re small, or an influencer, you can invest in that, and then if they become bigger and more popular, you make money and they make and they get capital early on to produce their creative work,” according to AI-Naji.

BitClout, the first application that was created by AI-Naji and his team on the DeSo blockchain, had initially drawn controversy, as some found that they had profiles on the platform without their consent, while the application’s users were buying and selling tokens representing their identities. Such tokens are called “creator coins.”

AI-Naji responded to the controversy saying that DeSo now supports more than 200 social-media applications including Bitclout. “I think that if you don’t like those features, you now have the freedom to use any app you want. Some apps don’t have that functionality at all.”

 

But Before I get to the “selling monkeys to morons” quote,

I want to talk about

THE GOOD, THE BAD, AND THE UGLY

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

THE GOOD

My foray into Science 2.0 and then pondering what the movement into a Science 3.0 led me to an article by Dr. Vladimir Teif, who studies gene regulation and the nucleosome, as well as creating a worldwide group of scientists who discuss matters on chromatin and gene regulation in a journal club type format.

For more information on this Fragile Nucleosome journal club see https://generegulation.org/fragile-nucleosome/.

Fragile Nucleosome is an international community of scientists interested in chromatin and gene regulation. Fragile Nucleosome is active in several spaces: one is the Discord server where several hundred scientists chat informally on scientific matters. You can join the Fragile Nucleosome Discord server. Another activity of the group is the organization of weekly virtual seminars on Zoom. Our webinars are usually conducted on Wednesdays 9am Pacific time (5pm UK, 6pm Central Europe). Most previous seminars have been recorded and can be viewed at our YouTube channel. The schedule of upcoming webinars is shown below. Our third activity is the organization of weekly journal clubs detailed at a separate page (Fragile Nucleosome Journal Club).

 

His lab site is at https://generegulation.org/ but had published a paper describing what he felt what the #science2_0 to #science3_0 transition would look like (see his blog page on this at https://generegulation.org/open-science/).

This concept of science 3.0 he had coined back in 2009.  As Dr Teif had mentioned

So essentially I first introduced this word Science 3.0 in 2009, and since then we did a lot to implement this in practice. The Twitter account @generegulation is also one of examples

 

This is curious as we still have an ill defined concept of what #science3_0 would look like but it is a good read nonetheless.

His paper,  entitled “Science 3.0: Corrections to the Science 2.0 paradigm” is on the Cornell preprint server at https://arxiv.org/abs/1301.2522 

 

Abstract

Science 3.0: Corrections to the Science 2.0 paradigm

The concept of Science 2.0 was introduced almost a decade ago to describe the new generation of online-based tools for researchers allowing easier data sharing, collaboration and publishing. Although technically sound, the concept still does not work as expected. Here we provide a systematic line of arguments to modify the concept of Science 2.0, making it more consistent with the spirit and traditions of science and Internet. Our first correction to the Science 2.0 paradigm concerns the open-access publication models charging fees to the authors. As discussed elsewhere, we show that the monopoly of such publishing models increases biases and inequalities in the representation of scientific ideas based on the author’s income. Our second correction concerns post-publication comments online, which are all essentially non-anonymous in the current Science 2.0 paradigm. We conclude that scientific post-publication discussions require special anonymization systems. We further analyze the reasons of the failure of the current post-publication peer-review models and suggest what needs to be changed in Science 3.0 to convert Internet into a large journal club. [bold face added]
In this paper it is important to note the transition of a science 1.0, which involved hard copy journal publications usually only accessible in libraries to a more digital 2.0 format where data, papers, and ideas could be easily shared among networks of scientists.
As Dr. Teif states, the term “Science 2.0” had been coined back in 2009, and several influential journals including Science, Nature and Scientific American endorsed this term and suggested scientists to move online and their discussions online.  However, even at present there are thousands on this science 2.0 platform, Dr Teif notes the number of scientists subscribed to many Science 2.0 networking groups such as on LinkedIn and ResearchGate have seemingly saturated over the years, with little new members in recent times. 
The consensus is that science 2.0 networking is:
  1. good because it multiplies the efforts of many scientists, including experts and adds to the scientific discourse unavailable on a 1.0 format
  2. that online data sharing is good because it assists in the process of discovery (can see this evident with preprint servers, bio-curated databases, Github projects)
  3. open-access publishing is beneficial because free access to professional articles and open-access will be the only publishing format in the future (although this is highly debatable as many journals are holding on to a type of “hybrid open access format” which is not truly open access
  4. only sharing of unfinished works and critiques or opinions is good because it creates visibility for scientists where they can receive credit for their expert commentary

There are a few concerns on Science 3.0 Dr. Teif articulates:

A.  Science 3.0 Still Needs Peer Review

Peer review of scientific findings will always be an imperative in the dissemination of well-done, properly controlled scientific discovery.  As Science 2.0 relies on an army of scientific volunteers, the peer review process also involves an army of scientific experts who give their time to safeguard the credibility of science, by ensuring that findings are reliable and data is presented fairly and properly.  It has been very evident, in this time of pandemic and the rapid increase of volumes of preprint server papers on Sars-COV2, that peer review is critical.  Many of these papers on such preprint servers were later either retracted or failed a stringent peer review process.

Now many journals of the 1.0 format do not generally reward their peer reviewers other than the self credit that researchers use on their curriculum vitaes.  Some journals, like the MDPI journal family, do issues peer reviewer credits which can be used to defray the high publication costs of open access (one area that many scientists lament about the open access movement; where the burden of publication cost lies on the individual researcher).

An issue which is highlighted is the potential for INFORMATION NOISE regarding the ability to self publish on Science 2.0 platforms.

 

The NEW BREED was born in 4/2012

An ongoing effort on this platform, https://pharmaceuticalintelligence.com/, is to establish a scientific methodology for curating scientific findings where one the goals is to assist to quell the information noise that can result from the massive amounts of new informatics and data occurring in the biomedical literature. 

B.  Open Access Publishing Model leads to biases and inequalities in the idea selection

The open access publishing model has been compared to the model applied by the advertising industry years ago and publishers then considered the journal articles as “advertisements”.  However NOTHING could be further from the truth.  In advertising the publishers claim the companies not the consumer pays for the ads.  However in scientific open access publishing, although the consumer (libraries) do not pay for access the burden of BOTH the cost of doing the research and publishing the findings is now put on the individual researcher.  Some of these publishing costs can be as high as $4000 USD per article, which is very high for most researchers.  However many universities try to refund the publishers if they do open access publishing so it still costs the consumer and the individual researcher, limiting the cost savings to either.  

However, this sets up a situation in which young researchers, who in general are not well funded, are struggling with the publication costs, and this sets up a bias or inequitable system which rewards the well funded older researchers and bigger academic labs.

C. Post publication comments and discussion require online hubs and anonymization systems

Many recent publications stress the importance of a post-publication review process or system yet, although many big journals like Nature and Science have their own blogs and commentary systems, these are rarely used.  In fact they show that there are just 1 comment per 100 views of a journal article on these systems.  In the traditional journals editors are the referees of comments and have the ability to censure comments or discourse.  The article laments that comments should be easy to do on journals, like how easy it is to make comments on other social sites, however scientists are not offering their comments or opinions on the matter. 

In a personal experience, 

a well written commentary goes through editors which usually reject a comment like they were rejecting an original research article.  Thus many scientists, I believe, after fashioning a well researched and referenced reply, do not get the light of day if not in the editor’s interests.  

Therefore the need for anonymity is greatly needed and the lack of this may be the hindrance why scientific discourse is so limited on these types of Science 2.0 platforms.  Platforms that have success in this arena include anonymous platforms like Wikipedia or certain closed LinkedIn professional platforms but more open platforms like Google Knowledge has been a failure.

A great example on this platform was a very spirited conversation on LinkedIn on genomics, tumor heterogeneity and personalized medicine which we curated from the LinkedIn discussion (unfortunately LinkedIn has closed many groups) seen here:

Issues in Personalized Medicine: Discussions of Intratumor Heterogeneity from the Oncology Pharma forum on LinkedIn

 

 

Issues in Personalized Medicine: Discussions of Intratumor Heterogeneity from the Oncology Pharma forum on LinkedIn

 

In this discussion, it was surprising that over a weekend so many scientists from all over the world contributed to a great discussion on the topic of tumor heterogeneity.

But many feel such discussions would be safer if they were anonymized.  However then researchers do not get any credit for their opinions or commentaries.

A Major problem is how to take the intangible and make them into tangible assets which would both promote the discourse as well as reward those who take their time to improve scientific discussion.

This is where something like NFTs or a decentralized network may become important!

UPDATED 5/09/2022

Below is an online @TwitterSpace Discussion we had with some young scientists who are just starting out and gave their thoughts on what SCIENCE 3.0 and the future of dissemination of science might look like, in light of this new Meta Verse.  However we have to define each of these terms in light of Science and not just the Internet as merely a decentralized marketplace for commonly held goods.

This online discussion was tweeted out and got a fair amount of impressions (60) as well as interactors (50).

 For the recording on both Twitter as well as on an audio format please see below

To introduce this discussion first a few startoff material which will fram this discourse

 






The Intenet and the Web is rapidly adopting a new “Web 3.0” format, with decentralized networks, enhanced virtual experiences, and greater interconnection between people. Here we start the discussion what will the move from Science 2.0, where dissemination of scientific findings was revolutionized and piggybacking on Web 2.0 or social media, to a Science 3.0 format. And what will it involve or what paradigms will be turned upside down?

Old Science 1.0 is still the backbone of all scientific discourse, built on the massive amount of experimental and review literature. However this literature was in analog format, and we moved to a more accesible digital open access format for both publications as well as raw data. However as there was a structure for 1.0, like the Dewey decimal system and indexing, 2.0 made science more accesible and easier to search due to the newer digital formats. Yet both needed an organizing structure; for 1.0 that was the scientific method of data and literature organization with libraries as the indexers. In 2.0 this relied on an army mostly of volunteers who did not have much in the way of incentivization to co-curate and organize the findings and massive literature.

Each version of Science has their caveats: their benefits as well as deficiencies. This curation and the ongoing discussion is meant to solidy the basis for the new format, along with definitions and determination of structure.

We had high hopes for Science 2.0, in particular the smashing of data and knowledge silos. However the digital age along with 2.0 platforms seemed to excaccerbate this somehow. We still are critically short on analysis!

 

We really need people and organizations to get on top of this new Web 3.0 or metaverse so the similar issues do not get in the way: namely we need to create an organizing structure (maybe as knowledgebases), we need INCENTIVIZED co-curators, and we need ANALYSIS… lots of it!!

Are these new technologies the cure or is it just another headache?

 

There were a few overarching themes whether one was talking about AI, NLP, Virtual Reality, or other new technologies with respect to this new meta verse and a concensus of Decentralized, Incentivized, and Integrated was commonly expressed among the attendees

This is an excellent article.

It is very applicable for

1. Travel Websites

2. eCommerce transaction sites

3. Content: chiefly NEWS

Our PharmaceuticalIntellugence.com

A. Is an Internet based Business of Digital Content

B. Unlike 1,2,3 – 

B.1 EVERY CURATION in the Journal

has content with INTRINSIC value in the form of IP belonging to the Curator’s Expertise

B.2 ALL 16 Volumes in the BioMed e-Series represent an ORIGINAL electronic Table of Contents eTOCs designed by a very unique Editor(s).

B.2.1 The evolution of the eTOCs takes many iterations among the editors AND only the Editor-in-Chief after requests for substantial alterations, usually ADD new content, declares “This is the final eTOCs for Series X, Volume Y.

(These alterations AUGMENT the IP embedded in the eTOCs design)

Example: 

Genomics Volume 2: there were three iterations of eTOCs between Prof. Feldman and Aviva, first dated 2016. 

In 2019, 

• Aviva created single handedly the FINAL version of eTOCs and 

• commissioned ALL scientists to populated Parts 7 and 8 with new content not in existence in the Journal. 

• made Part 3: AI in Medicine

• made Part 4: Single Cell Sequencing

• obtained from Part 5: Evolution & Genomics from Prof. Feldman as an original curations WRITTEN for this Volume 

THAT IS INTRINSIC VALUE DERIVED FROM EXPERTISE and it defines the QUALITY of this book, which is not measured by traffic. Advertisement of the book could drive page downloads and book sales. It can be done ANY TIME because each article in the book is updated in perpetuity !! A feature of our BioMed e-Series.

Does the DCF model capture the value of NON-perishable content in our Jornal and Books – no it does not

It will be valued at PREMIUM an acquirer who is sensitive to content obsolescence !!!!!

B.2.2 Page downloading will be updated for 4/19/2020

C. eProceedings are generated by Experts and the TWEET Collections carry the favorable Tweet Analytics that we presented: 

• HIGH engagement, 

• HIGHEST ratio tweet/likes in the Industry

• Ranked 2nd, 3rd, 4th in TOP 10 Influencers at #1 Conference in AI in Medicine in the World, 4/2019

HOW THUS VALUATION article calling for 2 to 4.5 multiplier is to capture LPBI’s

Direct reputation, feedback reputation and signaling effects are present; and shows that better sellers are always more likely to brand stretch. The comparative statics with respect to the initial reputation level, however, are not obvious. … a higher reputation firm can earn a higher direct reputation effect premium. But a higher reputation firm also has more to lose. The trade-off between using one’s reputation and protecting it can go both ways.

Part 2: BUSINESS PERSPECTIVES on Reputation

Warren Buffett on reputation: the economic value of values, integrity and corporate culture

Warren Buffett understands that reputation and integrity have economic value. Research that shows that a good reputation is worth real money — in fact, some research indicates that a good reputation might replace a line of credit at the bank. In his book Berkshire Beyond Buffett: The Enduring Value of Values, Lawrence Cunningham argues that one of Berkshire Hathaway’s greatest assets is reputation.

https://www.finn.agency/fr/warren-buffett-reputation-berkshire-hathaway

The Value of Reputation

Thomas Pfeiffer1,2,4,*, Lily Tran5, Coco Krumme5 and David G Rand1,3,* 1 Program for Evolutionary Dynamics, FAS, 2 School of Applied Sciences and Engineering, and 3 Department of Psychology, Harvard University, Cambridge MA 02138, USA 4 New Zealand Institute for Advanced Study, Massey University, Auckland 0745, New Zealand 5 MIT Media Laboratory, Cambridge MA 02139, USA

Reputation plays a central role in human societies.

Empirical and theoretical work indicates that a good reputation is valuable in that it increases one’s expected payoff in the future. Here, we explore a game that couples a repeated Prisoner’s Dilemma (PD), in which participants can earn and can benefit from a good reputation, with a market in which reputation can be bought and sold. This game allows us to investigate how the trading of reputation affects cooperation in the PD, and how participants assess the value of having a good reputation. We find that depending on how the game is set up, trading can have a positive or a negative effect on the overall frequency of cooperation. Moreover, we show that the more valuable a good reputation is in the PD, the higher the price at which it is traded in the market. Our findings have important implications for the use of reputation systems in practice.

Keywords: evolution of cooperation; reciprocal altruism; indirect reciprocity; reputation

Part 3:   ECONOMICS PERSPECTIVES on Reputation

The Economics of Trust and Reputation: A Primer

Notes on the literature

Important note: The notes in this section are essentially limited to the ideas discussed in the present version of these lectures notes. They cannot therefore be considered a survey of the literature. There are dozens of articles on the economics of reputation which I do not include here. In a future version of the text, I hope to provide a more complete set of notes on the literature. The notes below follow the order with which topics are presented.

Bootstrap models. The bootstrap mechanism for trust is based on a general result known as the folk theorem (known as such because of its uncertain origins). For a fairly general statement of the theorem (and its proof) see Fudenberg and Makin (1986). One of the main areas of application of the folk theorem has been the problem of (tacit or explicit) collusion in oligopoly. This is a typical problem of trust (or lack thereof): all firms would prefer prices to be high and output to be low; but each firm, individually, has an incentive to drop price and increase output. Friedman (1971) presents one of the earliest formal applications of the folk theorem to oligopoly collusion. He considers the case when firms set prices and history is perfectly observable. Both of the extensions presented in Section 2.2 were first developed with oligopoly collusion applications in mind. The case of trust with noisy signals (2.2.1) was first developed by Green and Porter (1984). A long series of papers have been written on this topic, including the influential work by Abreu, Pearce and Stacchetti (1990). Rotemberg and Saloner (1986) proposed a model of oligopoly collusion with fluctuating market demand. In this case, the intuition presented in Section 2.2.2 implies that firms collude on a lower price during periods of higher demand. This suggests that prices are counter-cyclical in markets where firms collude. Rotemberg and Saloner (1986) present supporting evidence from the cement industry. A number of papers have built on Rotemberg and Saloner’s analysis. Kandori (1992) shows that the i.i.d. assumption simplifies the analysis but is not crucial. Harrington (19??) considers a richer demand model and looks at how prices vary along the business cycle. The basic idea of repetition as a form of ensuring seller trustworthiness is developed in Klein and Leffler (1981). See also Telser (1980) and Shapiro (1983). When considering the problem of free entry, Klein and Leffler (1981) propose advertising as a solution, whereas Shapiro (1983) suggests low intro25 ductory prices. Section ?? is based on my own research notes. The general analysis of selfreinforcing agreements when there is an outside option of the kind considered here may be found in Ray (2002). Watson (1999, 2002) also considers models where the level of trust stars at a low level and gradually increases.

Bayesian models. The seminal contributions to the study of Bayesian models of reputation are Kreps and Wilson (1982) and Milgrom and Roberts (1982). The model in Section 3.2.1 includes elements from these papers as well as from Diamond (1989). H¨olmstrom (1982/1999) makes the point that separation leads to reduced incentives to invest in reputation. The issue of reputation with separation and changing types is treated in detail in the forthcoming book by Mailath and Samuelson (2006). In Section 3.3, I presented a series of models that deal with name as carriers of reputations. The part on changing names (Section 3.3.1) reflects elements from a variety of models, though, to the best of my knowledge, no study exists that models the process of secret, costless name changes in an infinite period adverse selection context. The study of markets for names follows the work by Tadelis (1999) and Mailath and Samuelson (2001). All of these papers are based on the Bayesian updating paradigm. Kreps (1990) presents an argument for trading reputations in a bootstrap type of model. The analysis of brand stretching (Section 3.3.3) is adapted from Cabral (2000). The paper considers a more general framework where the direct reputation, feedback reputation and signalling effects are present; and shows that better sellers are always more likely to brand stretch. The comparative statics with respect to the initial reputation level, however, are not obvious. As we saw above, a higher reputation firm can earn a higher direct reputation effect premium. But a higher reputation firm also has more to lose. The trade-off between using one’s reputation and protecting it can go both ways. For other papers on brand stretching and umbrella branding see Choi (1998), Anderson (2002).

Royalties in Kindle Unlimited and Kindle Owners’ Lending Library – A guide to publishing on Amazon

 

Royalties in Kindle Unlimited and Kindle Owners’ Lending Library

You’re eligible for royalty payment from Kindle Unlimited (KU, or Abonnement Kindle in France) and the Kindle Owners’ Lending Library (KOLL) for pages an individual customer reads in your book for the first time. A guide to publishing on Amazon

A customer can read your book as many times as they like, but we will only pay you for the number of pages read the first time the customer reads them. It may take months for customers to read pages in your book, but no matter how long it takes, we’ll still pay you once it happens. This is true even if your KDP Select enrollment period has expired, and you choose not to re-enroll.

Kindle Edition Normalized Page Count (KENPC v3.0)

To determine a book’s page count in a way that works across genres, devices, and display settings, we developed the Kindle Edition Normalized Page Count (KENPC). KENPC is calculated using standard formatting settings (font, line height, line spacing, etc.). We use KENPC to measure the number of pages customers read in your book, starting with the Start Reading Location (SRL) to the end of your book. Amazon typically sets SRL at chapter 1 so readers can start reading the core content of your book as soon as they open it. Non-text elements within books including images, charts and graphs will count toward a book’s KENPC.

KENPC v3.0
We released KENPC v3.0 to improve the way we measure how many pages of each book Kindle Unlimited and KOLL customers read. We’re constantly working to improve our programs and increase fairness of how we allocate the KDP Select Global Fund. These changes continue to improve the program and reward authors whose books are being borrowed and read the most by customers.

The KENPC v3.0 update applies uniformly to all KDP Select books and all versions of those books. Regardless of which version a customer may be reading, all future royalties will be paid using KENPC v3.0. If a customer previously borrowed your book and is still reading it, any new pages read will be based on KENPC v3.0.

Authors are able to earn a maximum of 3,000 Kindle Edition Normalized Pages (KENPs) read per title per customer. This means that each time your book is borrowed and read, you will receive credit for up to 3,000 pages. We believe this results in an equitable distribution of the KDP Select Global Fund.

Your book’s KENPC
You can see your book’s KENPC v3.0 listed on the “Promote and Advertise” page in your Bookshelf, and you can also see total pages read on your Sales Dashboard report. Because it’s based on default settings, KENPC v3.0 may vary from page counts listed on your Amazon detail page, which are derived from other sources.

KDP Select Global Fund
Our total payout from the KDP Select Global Fund will be unaffected by the transition to KENPC v3.0, and the amount you earn from the global fund will continue to be determined based on your share of total pages read by Kindle Unlimited (KU) and Kindle Owners’ Lending Library (KOLL) customers. The new KENPC version will be applied uniformly to all KDP Select books and used to measure all pages read.

 

Royalties

You’ll get one combined royalty payment for both KU and KOLL, paid according to the same payment schedule and payment method you selected for your other KDP sales.We review the size of the KDP Select Global Fund each month in order to make it compelling for authors to enroll their books in KDP Select. We announce the fund monthly in our community forum on kdp.amazon.com.The share of fund allocated to each country varies based on a number of factors, such as exchange rates, customer reading behavior, and local subscription pricing. Author earnings are then determined by their share of total pages read, up to a total of 3,000 pages per customer per title.

For example, here’s how we’d calculate royalty payout if $10 million in funds were available in a given month with 100 million total pages read (Note: Actual payouts vary and may be less; check your Prior Month’s Royalty Report to see your earnings):

  • Author with a 100 page bookthat was borrowed and read completely 100 times would earn $1,000 ($10 million multiplied by 10,000 pages for this author divided by 100,000,000 total pages).
  • Author of a 200 page bookthat was borrowed and read completely 100 times would earn $2,000 ($10 million multiplied by 20,000 pages for this author divided by 100,000,000 total pages).
  • Author of a 200 page bookthat was borrowed 100 times but only read halfway through on average would earn $1,000 ($10 million multiplied by 10,000 pages for this author divided by 100,000,000 total pages).

We always support our authors’ efforts to promote their books, but at the same time we work to prevent any manipulation of the Kindle platform.

We do not permit authors to offer, or participate in marketing that incentivizes Kindle Unlimited or Kindle Owners’ Lending Library customers to read their books in exchange for compensation of any kind. This includes payment (whether in the form of money or gift certificates), bonus content, entry to a contest or sweepstakes, discounts on future purchases, extra product, or other gifts.

Because we’re always looking to improve our authors’ experience, we have systems in place to monitor for potential manipulation.

 

Reporting

You can see your Kindle Edition Normalized Pages (KENP) Read in your Sales Dashboard report by marketplace and title. To see historical pages read, click “Generate Report” from your Sales Dashboard and go to the Orders Report tab.

If you’re enrolled in KDP Select, you will also see the following data on your reports:

Month-To-Date Unit Sales Report: The number of pages Kindle Unlimited or KOLL customers read of your books, under the “Kindle Edition Normalized Pages (KENP) Read” column.

Prior Months’ Royalties Report: For every title, there are five possible transaction types:

  • 35%:Amount a title earned under the 35% royalty option

  • 70%:Amount a title earned under the 70% royalty option

  • KDP Select Units:Amount every KDP Select-enrolled title earned monthly through Kindle Unlimited (KU) and the Kindle Owners’ Lending Library (KOLL). If a customer reads pages in your book for the first time through KU or KOLL, you will see a separate line item indicating the accumulated number of pages read under the column “Kindle Edition Normalized Pages (KENP) Read,” and the royalty earned through KU and KOLL under the “Royalty” column.

  • Free – Promotion:Free downloads due to Free promotion campaign(s) through KDP Select.

  • Free – Price Match:Free downloads due to competitor free price match.

Information Innovation and the Power of LPBI Group

Author: Rick Mandahl, MBA

LPBI Group, Business Development Team

 

“Science evolves”[1]. This simple quote from a position paper by William S. Harten[2], eminent database architect, genealogist and entrepreneur describes why he designed a new laboratory process management technology capable of adapting as processes changed. From the notion that the software system must support the science rather than the science being bound to the limitations of predefined rigid systems opened new vistas for exploration, and progress across many process intensive domains and certainly in the realm precision medicine moving into widespread clinical deployment. Science evolves.

Decades earlier Robert R. Johnson, PhD[3] leader of the GE engineering team responsible for computerizing the check processing system for the Bank of America, and in the process delivered technology that changed banking globally.  The initial exploratory endeavor began around 1950 at Stanford Research Institute [aka, SRI International, Menlo Park, CA] to address the exponential expansion of check processing bound by manual methods, thus the need to change a system that was conceived in Venice in 1431, roughly the same era as the invention of the Gutenberg Press. In Project ERMA among other things, developed the human and machine readable alphanumerics still found on every check issued in the world today. The same information could be shared by humans and machines and this realtime translation, realtime information [4] that helped manage the exponential increase in demand for financial services in the post World War Two era.

Technology supporting science, supporting commerce in our era changes centuries established methods.  Do scientific publications today advance science or simply report it? Can we do better?  How far are we beyond Gutenberg today? In 1995, Nicholas Negroponte of MIT’s Media Lab lamented that the FAX machine was barely a step beyond Gutenberg.[5] In the ensuing generation has scientific publishing advanced with the science it reports? LPBI Group thinks not.

What of new innovation in the expanding realm of life sciences? Where are the friction points that may impede progress in rapidly advancing areas of medical sciences – science whose validation rests on rigorous observation and adherence to scientific method, findings vetted by peer review and shared in scholarly journals of learned societies. Are there ways to improve, approaches to help ameliorate the current concern over “research productivity”?

Personal Reflection of an Innovation Case Study

In the early eighties upon returning from a year’s assignment in  France, I looked up a former skiing and climbing partner now Head Coach of the US Ski Team. I had heard that he was working on a new design of racing bicycle handle bars – which from afar seemed quite curious. A visit to his home near Sun Valley  resulted in an astonishing perspective. In a field where just about every innovation had been made for this simple machine, the bicycle, Boone Lennon theorized that aerodynamic improvement – the way a rider sat on the bicycle could deliver improved performance – this insight gained by observing and coaching some of the best ski racers in the world on improving their aerodynamic form in the greatest of alpine ski sports – the Downhill. Those body position principles, so important to a sport where the difference between victory or defeat is measured in hundredths of a second – those principles ought to apply to bicycle racing where on straight away courses with “two equally matched and equipped competitors, the racer with the new bars and improved aerodynamic position will win.”[6] The theory was proven when in 1989 Greg Lemond the first American to win the Tour de France used the new “aero bars” . This second of three Tour de France victories (also 1986 and 1990), was attributed by Mr. Lemond to the final time trial where he outpaced his opponent by eight seconds, the tightest margin in Tour de France history. LeMond’s superior aerodynamics brought him victory[7] – he triumphed where two comparably qualified and equipped competitors had different tools that resulted in different levels of efficiency, thus performance. 

Winning Strategy in the Information Age

In the competitive world of scientific and medical research, where can efficiencies be gained, productivity be improved?

  • Containing Information Explosion,
  • Combatting Information Obsolescence.

The game changing innovations of LPBI Group offer simple yet profound innovations to help scientists and clinicians advance at the pace they can reasonably pursue because LPBI Group’s products help keep pace with life sciences new research insights and scientific discoveries. LPBI Group  ongoing questions provide answers using curation of current scientific research results. 

  • No longer are scientific papers obsolete by the time they are published, rather
  • They are living and dynamic repositories of searchable curated knowledge to build upon, while leveraging past established benchmarks.
  • Equally qualified and equipped, what investigator, which team might advance faster?
  • Access to the best and current information would certainly be of help.
  • Access absent enormous subscription cost might help as well.
  • Accelerate information access, eliminate exorbitant access cost.

The Founders, The Finders, The Funders. 

To build a team, to create a venture, to have commercial impact, the initial founder(s) must be joined by team members who help build, refine, adapt and change as the initial concept grows to advancing stages of maturity.

The time comes when the greatest intellectual and commercial impact is likely delivered by partners whose established business channels and financial strength enable the full realization of innovation or enabling technology far beyond the operational capacities of the initial team, but exactly according their ultimate vision.

Thus, as LPBI Group grows, we seek to identify and recruit strategic partners to grow, to expand and to merge with a new structure to follow. The global community of scientists indeed all the humankind are the beneficiaries of our endeavors in knowledge creation and dissemination.
