What it does
On reveal: If you already have another Institutions card here, +3 Power to this card.
On reveal happens once, when the card flips.
It costs 2 RAM to play and brings 2 Power to its lane. You get 1 RAM in round 1, 2 in round 2, and so on.
Institutions cards protect your side, and come back strong when you're losing.
The site, in 2000
A nonprofit publisher of open-access science and medical journals, free to read and reuse with credit.
Tens of thousands signed its founders' pledge but few acted on it, so Patrick O. Brown and Michael Eisen started their own publisher. PLOS Biology, its first journal, appeared in October 2003.
In 2000: Harold Varmus, Patrick O. Brown and Michael Eisen began with a petition asking scientists to boycott journals that kept articles locked away.
Dot-com era, 1999 to 2002. Glossy buttons, big money and a bug called Y2K. Some of these companies were worth billions for about a fortnight.
The Establishment: Governments, universities, libraries and archives. Very official.
