 # Hugging Science  
+**Community-driven open science for the age of AI**
 
+## Our Mission
 
-**Community-driven open science for the age of AI**  
+Scientific progress increasingly depends not only on technical innovation but on how effectively we coordinate, share resources, and collaborate across disciplines. Hugging Science addresses this challenge by building a global community of researchers, developers, and practitioners committed to democratizing AI-enabled scientific discovery across physics, biology, chemistry, neuroscience, and beyond.
 
-Many of the deepest challenges in science are not purely technical, but social and organizational. Progress is often limited not by knowledge itself, but by how we coordinate, share, and collaborate. Hugging Science was created to bring together a global community of researchers, developers, and enthusiasts who believe that by working openly, we can accelerate breakthroughs in physics, drug development, neuroscience, biology, chemistry, and beyond.  
+Our approach is grounded in the principles outlined in [our position paper](https://arxiv.org/abs/2509.06580), which identifies the primary barriers to AI democratization in science as fundamentally social and institutional rather than purely technical. By organizing collective action around shared computational challenges, open benchmarks, and accessible infrastructure, we aim to transform fragmented research efforts into coordinated progress.
 
-This vision is outlined in [our preprint](https://arxiv.org/html/2509.06580v1), which argues for democratizing scientific progress by empowering distributed contributions. Instead of concentrating resources in a few places, we can organize large-scale efforts around open challenges, shared benchmarks, and transparent workflows.  
+## Core Activities
 
-Hugging Science is both a community and an experiment: can we turn fragmented efforts into collective action, and in doing so, make real advances in scientific discovery? We invite anyone—whether from machine learning, the natural sciences, or just curiosity—to join us.  
+**Community-Driven Research Challenges**  
+We identify and structure upstream computational bottlenecks with broad applicability across scientific domains, creating standardized benchmarks that enable researchers to build on each other's work.
 
-## What We Do  
-- Launch collaborative challenges & problem calls  
-- Build open toolkits, benchmarks, and workflows  
-- Support cross-disciplinary exchange & education  
-- Nurture a vibrant community at the interface of domain science and machine learning
-- Learn together 
+**Open Infrastructure and Tooling**  
+We develop and maintain accessible platforms, datasets, and workflows that reduce barriers to entry for researchers at institutions of all resource levels.
 
-## Join Us  
-- [Discord](https://discord.com/invite/VYkdEVjJ5J) — real-time collaboration & discussion  
-- [GitHub](https://github.com/hugging-science) — open source projects & contributions
+**Cross-Disciplinary Education and Collaboration**  
+We facilitate knowledge exchange between domain scientists and machine learning researchers through workshops, educational materials, and collaborative projects that bridge technical communication gaps.
 
-Not sure where to start? That's okay! Join the Discord to get a lay of the land. 
+**Sustainable Community Building**  
+We cultivate an inclusive community where contributions to data curation, infrastructure development, and educational resources are valued alongside algorithmic innovation.
