Question 1

What is biofideX and what do I actually get?

Accepted Answer

biofideX is a bioscience learning ecosystem made of three connected products:

• QuizLab — evidence-based interactive quizzes across biology, medicine and life sciences, with battles, badges and streaks.
• Scribe — long-form articles written by verified bioscience authors.
• Academy — structured courses and certifications (coming soon).

Everything is free to read and try. Creating an account is free and unlocks progress tracking, bookmarks, reactions and rankings.

Question 2

How do I create an account?

Accepted Answer

Click Sign In in the top-right of any page. You can sign up with an email and password or continue with Google. You'll be returned to the product page you came from right after signing in.

Question 3

Do I need an account to use biofideX?

Accepted Answer

No. You can read articles on Scribe and take quizzes on QuizLab without signing in. An account unlocks progress tracking, battles, bookmarks, comments, reactions, badges and the ability to apply as a writer.

Question 4

Which product should I start with?

Accepted Answer

If you want a quick win, start with QuizLab — pick a discipline, take a quiz, see your score. If you want to go deep on a topic, head to Scribe and read an article at your level. Academy is coming soon for students who want structured, credentialed courses.

Question 5

What kinds of questions appear in QuizLab?

Accepted Answer

QuizLab supports multiple question formats: single-answer multiple choice, multiple-correct-answer, true/false, match-the-following, and sequence-ordering. Each is scored and timed consistently so comparisons across quizzes stay fair.

Question 6

How do quiz battles work?

Accepted Answer

Battles are 1-on-1 challenges on the same set of questions. You pick up to five subjects and an opponent, and can narrow it by difficulty and education level; ten questions are then drawn at random from everything that matches, and neither of you sees them before your own round. Your opponent has 7 days to accept or decline; once it is accepted, each of you has 7 days to play. A round is one attempt, a minute a question, played whenever suits you, and neither player sees the other's score until both rounds are in. The higher score wins; if the scores are level, the faster round does. A win earns 100 battle points, a draw 50 and a loss 25. A player who accepts and does not play in time forfeits.

Question 7

How is my score and points calculated?

Accepted Answer

Your score is the percentage of questions answered correctly. Points are awarded based on accuracy and speed — the faster you finish without dropping accuracy, the more points you earn. Points feed your level, streak and leaderboard position.

Question 8

What are streaks and badges?

Accepted Answer

A streak counts consecutive days you took at least one quiz. Badges are awarded for milestones like first perfect score, 10-quiz streak, category mastery, battle wins, and more. You can see your streak calendar and badges on your profile.

Question 9

Can I retake a quiz?

Accepted Answer

Yes — quizzes have unlimited attempts. Your best score is reflected on the leaderboard, and your full attempt history is kept on your profile page.

Question 10

How does the leaderboard work?

Accepted Answer

The global leaderboard ranks learners by total points: the points earned on quizzes plus battle points. The battles page has its own ranking by battle points alone. Rankings update in near real time.

Question 11

What kind of content lives on Scribe?

Accepted Answer

Scribe publishes long-form bioscience articles — explainers, study guides, research perspectives, and deep dives. Every post is written by a verified author and tagged with disciplines and study levels so you can filter to what fits.

Question 12

How do bookmarks, reactions and comments work?

Accepted Answer

Signed-in readers can bookmark any post (find them in /scribe/bookmarks), add reactions (insightful, thorough, disagreement, etc.) and leave threaded comments. Reactions are visible to the author and inform our editorial surfacing.

Question 13

Can I filter articles by topic or level?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every post on Scribe is filterable by discipline (Molecular Biology, Neuroscience, Public Health, etc.), study level (introductory through advanced), and tags. Use the filter drawer on any Scribe list page.

Question 14

How are Scribe articles connected to QuizLab quizzes?

Accepted Answer

Many Scribe posts include a Related Quizzes block, and quizzes include a Related Posts block. We match based on shared tags, discipline and explicit links set by authors — so you can read the concept, then test yourself, without leaving the topic.

Question 15

How do I become a writer on Scribe?

Accepted Answer

Open the Writer Application page from Scribe and submit a short bio, your expertise areas and one writing sample. Our editorial team reviews every application. Approved writers get access to the Scribe editor and can publish blog posts.

Question 16

What does editorial review look like?

Accepted Answer

Drafts are reviewed for clarity, factual grounding and reference quality before they're published. We don't require you to cite every sentence, but claims that carry real-world weight (clinical, quantitative, or novel) should be sourced.

Question 17

What does the Scribe editor include?

Accepted Answer

A block-based editor with slash commands, inline formatting, callouts, images, code blocks, quotes, lists and headings. Every article gets an automatic table of contents, reading-time estimate and SEO-friendly slug.

Question 18

Do writers keep rights to their work?

Accepted Answer

Yes — authors retain copyright to their articles. By publishing on Scribe you grant biofideX a non-exclusive license to host, display and promote the work on our surfaces. You can unpublish your own work at any time from your dashboard.

Question 19

Are writers paid?

Accepted Answer

During our current phase, Scribe is a portfolio-and-reach platform — we don't run direct payments yet. We're designing a fair revenue-share model tied to readership and reactions for a future phase; writers on the platform today will be prioritised for that program when it launches.

Question 20

What is biofideX Academy?

Accepted Answer

Academy is our upcoming structured-learning product: curated multi-week courses, guided study paths and verifiable certifications across bioscience. Unlike QuizLab's short-form quizzes or Scribe's long-form articles, Academy ties them together into an assessable curriculum.

Question 21

When does Academy launch?

Accepted Answer

We haven't committed to a public date yet — the content quality bar for certifications is high and we'd rather launch right than early. Join the waitlist on the Academy page to be notified first.

Question 22

Will Academy be free?

Accepted Answer

Some learning paths will remain free. Certifications and instructor-supported tracks will be paid — we'll publish transparent pricing well before launch. Existing QuizLab and Scribe features will always have a meaningful free tier.

Question 23

How do I reset my password?

Accepted Answer

On the Sign-In page, choose Forgot password? and enter the email linked to your account. We'll send you a secure reset link. If you signed up via Google, your password lives with Google — reset it there.

Question 24

Google sign-in took me somewhere weird. Is it broken?

Accepted Answer

Google sign-ins now return to a proper callback page and then to the product page you came from. If you hit a blank page or 404, hard-refresh and try again — in rare cases browser-level third-party-cookie settings can interfere. Email us if it keeps happening.

Question 25

Can I customise my profile avatar and banner?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Your profile page has an avatar builder (skin, hair, outfit, background) and a banner designer with presets and custom gradients. Both are shareable via the Share Profile modal.

Question 26

How do I delete my account and data?

Accepted Answer

Write to us from the email associated with your account and request deletion. We'll remove your profile, quiz attempts, battles, reactions and comments within 14 days. Published Scribe articles may be anonymised rather than deleted where others have replied, in which case we'll confirm the outcome with you.

Question 27

How is my data used?

Accepted Answer

We use your data to run the features you see — your quiz attempts power your stats, your reactions power rankings, your email is used for auth. We don't sell data to third parties. Details and your rights are spelled out in our Privacy Policy.

Question 28

How do you ensure content accuracy?

Accepted Answer

QuizLab questions go through editorial review for scientific accuracy before publishing. Scribe articles are written by verified authors under a published editorial guideline, and corrections are issued transparently when errors are flagged. If you find something wrong, the Contact form is the fastest route to fix it.

Question 29

Do you use AI-generated content?

Accepted Answer

Scribe articles are written by human authors. AI tools may be used to assist with research or editing, but every published piece carries a real author name and passes editorial review. QuizLab questions are human-authored and reviewed.

Question 30

Is biofideX free to use?

Accepted Answer

Today: yes. QuizLab quizzes and Scribe articles are free to read and attempt, with or without an account. An account is free and unlocks the progress features described elsewhere in this FAQ.

Question 31

Are you planning paid plans?

Accepted Answer

We'll introduce paid options when Academy launches (certifications, instructor-supported tracks). Existing QuizLab and Scribe features will retain a meaningful free tier. You'll never be forced onto a paid plan for something that's free today.
