This document summarizes Re-Imagine Science's efforts to transform how science is done in the US through applying theories like Theory U and the Cynefin Framework. It discusses workshops and events held from 2010-2019 on topics like the individual in systems, cooperativity, complexity theory, and the science of team science. It also introduces the staff and advisors of Re-Imagine Science, whose backgrounds span academia, government, non-profits, and industry. The document advocates for a value-driven science focused on inclusion and sustainability through cross-sector collaboration and long-term teaming.
