> So Kording helped create the formal training he lacked: [Community for Rigor](https://c4r.io/), a science-education initiative funded by the U.S. National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke. (The five-year [grant](https://reporter.nih.gov/search/Zdfc0q4yaUCtxsGJR_GUtQ/project-details/10673711) is slated to run until July 2027.) An administrative center Kording leads at the University of Pennsylvania designed the online resource, which houses educational units created in conjunction with teams at [nine other institutions](https://reporter.nih.gov/search/XDyPc3lhU0awHHrrP2vfNg/projects). The group released its first free, open-access training, which focuses on confirmation bias, this week and plans to publish four others throughout 2025.
