About

Why we made you a page

Academic science is full of friction that doesn’t have to be there. This is where Twist tries to take some of it out. We fund ideas the traditional system doesn’t. We show you what your peers are publishing without making you dig for it. We make resources you’d otherwise pay for available with your free Twist account. And Gina, well she’s just here to make you smile.
