Icebox
We're generating a library of the projects, technologies, and workflows
that have been paused, or “put on ice,” at Arcadia.
Overview
Learning is an important part of science. If we're doing it right, not
everything we attempt will work out the way we expect. And in each of those
cases, there is a lesson to capture.
Iced projects often yield data and insights that could be useful to
others. We're committed to wrapping up these efforts by releasing
associated pubs. By clearly delineating why certain efforts get the cold
shoulder, we hope others can take full advantage of our exploration.
In some cases, the reasons for pausing may be addressable in the future
or by others outside of Arcadia. We sincerely hope you take up the
mantle — in fact, let us know if there's anything we can do to help.
You've Been Iced!
Browse all our iced pubs and projects.
Pubs are data-focused but also contain brief explanations of why we chose not to follow up.
Projects link to a narrative page that describes the project's initial goals, progress (including associated pubs), and reasons for discontinuing.
