Our current focus

We are mentoring high school students interning remotely as assistants for Eterna, Foldit, and Zooniverse research projects.

We are developing and publishing plain language user guides, tutorials, and research pieces.

What we do

We do consulting work, analysis work, manual work, field work, library and Internet work, research tool development, information management development, and research problem solving. We do work in the natural sciences, social sciences, history, and genealogy. We do freelance writing and editing.

We are a veteran owned small business in Anne Arundel County, Maryland, not far from the Chesapeake Bay. Since 2006, we have offered assistance to independent researchers and small businesses in their research and development endeavors. We help for a day, a week, a month, or more.

Since 2011, we’ve offered work internships to science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) and biomedical and allied health (BMAH) senior students in Anne Arundel County Public Schools. (These internships are now open for other students, too. Please contact us if you are interested.) Our interns work remotely as research assistants to postgraduate and professional science research programs through Eterna (RNA molecule folding), Foldit (protein folding), Zooniverse (citizen science portal), and other platforms. Our internship program has been recognized by the 21st Century Education Foundation in Annapolis.
