New Science is building the 21st century institutions of basic science. We work on:
- Democratizing scientific knowledge, methods, and expertise and bringing science into the world and making it accessible to everyone.
- Increasing the robustness and replicability of scientific research.
- Supporting basic science, especially inter-disciplinary research that doesn’t neatly fit into any established areas of academic science.
We are currently working on translating seminal scientific papers into everyday English (see thoughts on science, science literacy, and replication). Reach out if you’d like to take part in the project.
If you’d like to apply for a New Science Fellowship, please submit your expression of interest via this form.
