Discovery is for everyone. Frameshifter works to accelerate discoveries and broaden inclusion in science through engaging the public in scientific research with games, collective and hybrid intelligence, and human-centered design.
I've been thinking a lot recently about how participatory science can be a key part of creating more just systems that can solve critical global challenges. I'm grateful to have the opportunity to pull together a set of incredibly thoughtful, experienced folks in our field who I greatly respect.
Really excited to be hosting a panel next week as part of Science Summit, leading up to UNGA 81: Participatory science as a regenerative framework. Register to join us, fully virtual: event.sciencesummitnyc.org/list-of-sess...

Eternacon 12 will be Sunday, July 26, 9am to 2pm PT featuring talks on player pseudoknot design techniques, the Montparnasse algorithm solving the Eterna100, an RNA scaffold for cryo-EM, and results for our pilot Replicase puzzle. #RNAsky Free to register at eternagame.org/eternacon/2026
Take a peek at our recent writeup about the big impacts of Eterna's work on these tiny, player-designed molecular calculators!
Eterna@eternagame.org · 8mo agoEterna players were able to design molecular calculators which could revolutionize global health, low-energy computing, and biosensing - lets talk about why this is exciting! (1/7)
Frameshifter is now halfway into our first year, having supported some exciting new developments @eternagame.org from new computational benchmarks for RNA design to origins of life research.
What is Frameshifter's theory of change? The need for accessible contribution to research, and how participatory platforms lead to effective, equitable, and ethical science: frameshifter.org/blog/a-theor...

Looking forward to speaking at the Serious Play Conference in just a couple weeks! Coming fresh off the tails of announcing @frameshifter.org and grounded in what we've done @eternagame.org, I'll be discussing why #play and scientific discovery games are a powerful tool in the current moment (1/2)
