Hey, everyone. For those of you who don't know, Outread is simplifying research articles. We take key points and provide digestible summaries of the top research papers from journals like Nature, Science and American Economic Review. We cover a variety of categories including health science, creative science, economy, business and startups etc. Tools on top of the platform will allow you to get definitions, images and videos for key words and concepts explained in the research paper to help you better understand.

Some of the most disruptive technologies have had their beginnings in research papers. For example, the concept of blockchain was introduced in a paper by Satoshi Nakomoto and the technology behind Alexa was introduced in a paper called 'True Knowledge' by William Tunstall-Pedoe.

And who knows, you might find something revolutionary in one of these research summaries or they could spark an idea for a product!
