@gennadiy.bsky.social is presenting his work on the @arc-cogitate.bsky.social data. And he is positioned in the shade, so it’s another motivator to come :-)))

Not just a toast to results🥂, but to the people, dedication, and openness that made this milestone possible. ✨
After sharing our Experiment 2 findings with the community @assc28.bsky.social today, we’re taking a moment to reflect on how far we’ve come - together. #TeamScience #ASSC2025 #OpenScience

ARC-COGITATE @arc-cogitate.bsky.social · May 30

We believe collaboration across divides isn’t just good for science. It’s essential for progress.

🔗 Watch, share, and join the conversation!

ARC-COGITATE @arc-cogitate.bsky.social · May 30

It’s a powerful mechanism for countering polarization, reducing bias, and making science more transparent, rigorous, and constructive.
And it's one that the Cogitate Consortium has embraced in our efforts to advance the scientific study of consciousness.

ARC-COGITATE @arc-cogitate.bsky.social · May 30

This short reel introduces the spirit of adversarial collaboration: an approach where rival teams co-design experiments, agree on predictions in advance, and interpret results collectively.

ARC-COGITATE @arc-cogitate.bsky.social · May 30

Rivals or Teammates?

What happens when scientists with opposing theories come together - not to win, but to learn?
