<h3>1. Rehumanising science for all</h3>
-
<p>Science is a human endeavor shaped by contributions from many individuals, and scientific insights stem from and flow through people. All stakeholders, such as academics, curators, traditional knowledge holders, journalists, reviewers, policymakers, and citizens, should be included in and benefit from the process. Scientific digital infrastructure therefore exists to both support inquisitive exploration and also to distribute the benefits of evidence-driven actions across society.</p>

<h3>2. Melding institutions and crowds</h3>
-
<p>Opening the door to public participation in the scientific discourse means broadening access to data and the skills required to analyse it. Today, large institutions play the important role of bringing together researchers under one roof, but emerging digital infrastructure promises new opportunities for participation across institutional and geographic boundaries. We aim to decouple access to the tools for science from institutional affiliation, and thus reduce the barrier to meaningful participation.</p>

<h3>3. Supporting positive scientific feedback loops</h3>
-
<p>Academics, journalists, and politicians all collaborating effectively across their specialisms results in maximal return on investments in science. We aim to empower creators to disseminate datasets towards the accumulation of reliable evidence and to reduce ongoing maintenance costs. By tracking positive outcomes, we seek to incentivize the responsible, ongoing curation of datasets.</p>

<p>We get a maximal return on investments in science when academics, journalists, politicians, curators and others all collaborate effectively across their respective specialisms. <span class="aim">We aim to empower creators from all walks of life to create, share and review datasets towards the accumulation of reliable evidence, and incentivize the responsible, ongoing curation of datasets.</p>
</div>
<p>Modern computational science should leverage both traditional and community-centered sources of insights and data, and enable such groups to take full advantage of digital resources. We want to develop these in an open and collaborative process that follows the principles above. We <a href="#about">invite</a> you to work with us!</p>
