About UNFOLDED

UNFOLDED turns research from leading scientific journals into short videos: one question per video, only the strongest sources, and every claim checked word for word against the original paper.

Why we exist

Science headlines often say more than the study does. We go back to the paper itself, explain what it found, and tell you just as clearly what it doesn't show. Every video ends with what is backed by science, and what isn't.

Independent

UNFOLDED is an independent project from the Netherlands. We have no sponsors and no affiliate links. If that ever changes, we will label it clearly in every video and on this website.

How we use AI

We are open about our tools:

An AI model (Claude, by Anthropic) helps draft and check our scripts.
Software verifies that every quote we rely on really appears in the paper.
The voice in our videos is synthetic (Kokoro, an open-source text-to-speech model).
Animations and charts are generated in code.
A human editor reviews and approves every video before it is published.

Not medical advice

Our videos explain research. They are not medical advice. Talk to your doctor before changing medication, supplements or treatment.
