Our mission is to understand intelligence in the universe. Unlike traditional beliefs that intelligence is solely limited to the brain, we believe that it is all around us. Only by exploring the minds of animals, the behaviour of cells, and even the hidden cognitive abilities of everyday materials, can we unlock new ways for humanity to grow and thrive as a civilization. Along the way, we want to move beyond using animals only for food and labour, and instead learn how to collaborate with their unique intelligences, just as we already do in a small way with detection dogs, therapy animals in hospitals, and bomb‑sniffing rats.
