Open science commitments
Studies using open practices are trusted more, and open materials help more people learn. Here is what this site promises.
- Show the sources. Every claim is referenced; every chart says where its numbers come from.
- Label uncertainty. Established, strong, emerging, hypothesis or debated: you always know how sure I am.
- Share freely. Text, illustrations and 3D models are CC BY 4.0, ready for classrooms and newsrooms.
- Reproducible visuals. 3D models and charts are generated by open scripts from public data (PDB, FlyBase, PubMed), with checksums and retrieval dates.
- Respect the work of others. No unpublished or lab data, ever; original data creators are credited.
- Correct openly. Mistakes are fixed with a visible note and a new version number.
- 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.
