Build transformative tools for science

    We accelerate research by facilitating the creation of beautiful software tools through collaboration between researchers, designers, and engineers.

    Priority Areas

    Four transformative initiatives for scientific software

    Make Science Declarative

    Move from imperative to declarative tools—like Kubernetes and Terraform did for software—letting scientists specify outcomes instead of implementations

    Make Science Asynchronous

    Move scientific collaboration online with async communication, version control, and digital-first research workflows that transcend geography

    Make Science Intelligent

    Build interfaces where AI enhances scientific reasoning through thoughtful integration, not just automation

    Make Science Measurable

    Create open protocols for scientific data—like OpenTelemetry for science—capturing dark data, negative results, and enabling interoperable measurement
