I definitely like the concept. Are you working on it?

While it's a cool idea, and I do like it. The problem in my eyes here, is that all this is going to amount to is an ICO and then that's it. The people you are running it (probably you) is just going to get a ton of investments, your token is going to turn into an investment/trading coins and that's going to be the end of it. That's the story with all of the ICO's these days, nothing and I mean NOTHING comes out of them.

How is yours going to be different?

Can you link the Ann thread and their website so that we can check what is the goal of their ICO, and what is the assurance that they will not grab some peoples money just to earn from it and scam them all? the ideas behind the ICO projects and their ambition is great, their plans are well organized and their presentation to their project is brilliant and good. But the fact that there are few ICO's that is legit and not scam. People's are sick with that kind of ICO.

haha I'm not working on this project at all. I'm just a regular dude who knows awesomeness when I see it.
I guess the only thing that makes it different is the entire concept of what it is trust it goes through.
If it is something that goes through, the potential for it would be crazy cool. If it doesn't then hopefully someone else that's cool enough will take the idea and put it to play.
There's a lot to see what happens when this thing comes to fruition.

There were many platforms with similar "crowdsourcing" based designs around 10-15 years ago. Most of them are gone now. A crowdsourcing platform built specifically with scientific research in mind is something I can't remember having seen before, however. The youtube clip OP posted may be unique in that sense.

Scientific research tends to be cost prohibitive and limited mainly to large corporate or educational institutions. The entry level pay for many scientists is around $30k/year which tends to encourage most students to become lawyers instead as lawyer starting pay is $100k/year.

There are DIY and hobbyist websites which do things similar to what OP's clip describes. Which could show that the concept is a viable one.

Example of potential viability: Hackaday offers $250,000 in prizes to inventors/engineers/diy hobbyists who design and build things which fit a certain theme:
