Testimonials
“FQxI is a fundamental resource in the landscape of contemporary intellectual work in science. Thank you FQxI!”
Carlo Rovelli
“It's hard to express the difference FQxI's made–that you nurture and value work on expansive, risky topics. I think it gives courage to a lot of people.”
Jenann Ismael
“FQxI has catalyzed much-needed dialogue between disciplines that rarely engage in an intellectual discourse; such connections have already enabled path-breaking research and could drive future paradigm shifts…FQxI remains almost unique in this space.”
