Our Values
Integrity
We approach our work with integrity, as principled researchers and citizens.
Innovation
We seek to advance understanding unencumbered by how things used to be done or by dogma.
Interdisciplinarity
We don’t believe in artificial boundaries between disciplines.
Intuition
We don’t let machines decide. We rely on machines to do what humans cannot, but we begin and end with judgment.
