## In authors' words

### What they set out to do (purpose)

A USDA "Science Tuesday" blog post by Jim Dobrowolski of NIFA introducing ThinkWater and its water-security aims.

### What they found (results)

ThinkWater, backed by a $900,000 NIFA grant, sets out to improve water security by building meta-thinking about water — teaching people to ask deeper questions rather than absorb facts — on a platform developed by the crowd and evolved through use.
