Welcome to The Gameful Scientist

What if we could change how we discover?

Here, we explore creative approaches to scientific discovery—with a focus on gaming, multi-agent systems, collective intelligence, and emergent behavior.

I share ideas, tools, and conversations at the edges of biology, technology, and systems thinking. You’ll hear from scientists, game designers, engineers, founders, and creators working to reimagine the discovery process itself.

We’ll cover topics like:

  • Discovery games for collective intelligence

  • Sandbox-style games for “build-to-understand”

  • Human-bio interaction for biotic games

  • Multi-agent systems for scientific discovery

  • Tech, ethics, and companies

Articles fall into three categories:

  • Levels: Deep dives into core concepts

  • Side Quests: Personal riffs or an “ask” from the community

  • Checkpoints: Reflections on direction and process

I write this newsletter not only to share my passion for the topic but also to clarify my own thoughts. It's a way to delve into the topics that inspire and challenge me.

Join me in this exploration.

Enjoy :)
