Build a Tool That Travels
Found a research institution and see whether it can produce a reliable scientific instrument or platform tool that meets a real user need and travels beyond its founding team.
Research institutions are systems. Try changing one.
Short simulations and explorables about research institutions. Play one alone to think something through, or run one with a group to argue it out.
