Frameshifter

Our Mission

To accelerate discoveries and broaden inclusion in science through engaging the public in scientific research.

A Nexus Of Expertise

Part research lab, part game studio, part software foundation, part center of excellence - Frameshifter takes a holistic, cross-disciplinary, and multi-faceted approach, with expertise across science, software and technology, hybrid intelligence, user experience and human-centered design, games, media, community development, and beyond.

Origins

Frameshifter was established in 2025 by the core developers of the Eterna scientific discovery game to sustain and scale its work. We aim for Eterna to be a foundation and model to engage the public across the scientific enterprise.
