Overview

</aside>

The Gallifreyan Institute for Learning receives a steady stream of questions from curious Earthlings, confused newcomers, and the occasional person who genuinely believes we’re broadcasting from a citadel on a distant red planet. This page exists to clear up the most common queries: who’s behind the project, how the research is built, why the biology makes sense even when the television occasionally doesn’t, and whether you’re allowed to borrow things for your own creations.
