-The GATAS Lab AlgebraicJulia aims to create novel approaches 
-to scientific computing based on applied category theory to 
-solve computational science and engineering problems. 
+The GATAS laboratory uses applied category to develop novel approaches to scientific
+computing. We are domain-agnostic, solving problems in
+[dynamics](https://arxiv.org/abs/2105.12282),
+[physics](https://github.com/AlgebraicJulia/Decapodes.jl),

-Scientists develop simulations by thinking about their scientific concepts, formulating mathematical models,  
-and then translating those models into software that answers their questions. 
-
-Our goal is to automate as much of the modeling and simulation process using formalization directly on their scientific concepts. 
-Categorical logic gives us the tools to develop custom mathematical tools for each scientific discipline in a coherent framework of useful abstractions. 
-By implementing these abstractions in software, we can build more powerful and robust scientific software bespoke to each application, without starting from scratch in each domain.
-This conceptual reuse leads to software reuse and acts as a multiplier enabling significant reductions in software engineering effort to develop state of the art scientific codes that can solve complex scientific problems.
+Scientists develop simulations by translating scientific concepts into mathematical models,
+and then embodying those models in software. We seek to automate this process using category
+theory. Category theory is a language rich enough in abstraction to represent any scientific
+concept, yet pliable enough to manipulate efficiently with a computer. The software in
+[AlgebraicJulia](https://www.algebraicjulia.org/) manipulates these abstractions directly;
+with it, scientists can build powerful, robust, and bespoke scientific models without
+starting from scratch in each domain.
