Impact · Open science

1. **Show the sources.** Every claim is referenced; every chart says where its numbers come from.
2. **Label uncertainty.** Established, strong, emerging, hypothesis or debated: you always know how sure I am.
3. **Share freely.** Text, illustrations and 3D models are CC BY 4.0, ready for classrooms and newsrooms.
4. **Reproducible visuals.** 3D models and charts are generated by open scripts from public data (PDB, FlyBase, PubMed), with checksums and retrieval dates.
5. **Respect the work of others.** No unpublished or lab data, ever; original data creators are credited.
6. **Correct openly.** Mistakes are fixed with a visible note and a new version number.
7. **Private by design.** No trackers or cookies; nothing about visitors is sold. Only the AlphaFold explorer contacts outside databases, and only when you use it.
