Project Credo isSocial media, with sources

Posts include interactive sources, not just footnotes or external links. We make it easy to judge the evidence, verify the Post's claims, and see who else is talking about the same source.

A network of people in conversation, five conversations converging on one shared research paper

Science communication has a problem

Millions of research papers are published every year, but they rarely reach your feed directly. Instead, they're filtered through headlines, soundbites, and viral posts.

Without the original source, context gets lost and claims get distorted, leaving room for misinformation and doubt.

Research should be accessible

Expertise is vital, but the gap between research and everyday people is too wide.

By anchoring discussions directly to actual sources, we're building a community where anyone can explore the evidence firsthand and have grounded conversations with real people, from curious readers to experts in the field.

Here, sources anchor conversations

On Project Credo, you don't have to go hunting for the study. Sources are built into Posts as interactive cards.

One tap gives you a summary to help you understand the research. You can see publication details and citation metrics to gauge its strength. You can check whether the Post cited it accurately, and see who else is posting about the same paper.

We help you decode the sources

Project Credo helps you understand the research, and see what others are saying about the same source across the website.

Check it out for yourself. Open the source card to explore the actual research behind the claim.

I should probably drink more coffee

Think coffee is a bad habit? Research actually suggests otherwise. This umbrella review of 218 meta-analyses concludes that 3-4 cups a day is associated with lower risk for heart disease and all-cause mortality. Check out the source to read more!

Curious if there is a research about coffer and teeth / bones health, I have strange feeling that coffee erodes teeth enamel, and it might affect some people more.
