Frameshifter

Take a peek at our recent writeup about the big impacts of Eterna's work on these tiny, player-designed molecular calculators!

We're looking for support to build and grow a sustainable ecosystem for connecting the public to scientific research. This Giving Tuesday, consider joining us in our mission through a donation: www.every.org/frameshifter

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.

A Theory of Change | Frameshifter Discovery is for everyone

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...

Serious Play Conference, Jonathan Romano. Presentation Title: Now More Than Ever, Science Needs Game. 13-15th August, 2025, Rochester, NY

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)

Frameshifter Discovery is for everyone

Frameshifter was started by the team behind @eternagame.org to steward the project and scale it's impact. Learn more at frameshifter.org, and hear from our director @luxaritas.com: frameshifter.org/blog/introdu...

We envision a world where everyone’s quality of life improves through participatory, equitable, and ethical scientific research and technology development and deployment.

We work towards participatory, community-driven scientific discovery and R&D, engaging broad, diverse communities and bringing capacity to under-resourced problems. We employ the approachability, engagement, and joy of games alongside the power of combining human intuition and advanced computation.

We're part research lab, part game studio, part software foundation, part center of excellence. We pull together science, software and technology, hybrid intelligence, user experience and human-centered design, games, media, and community development.

Introducing: Frameshifter, a new nonprofit program (fiscally sponsored by @superbloom.design ) accelerating discoveries and inclusion in science through public engagement in research.
