About us

Unknown Focus is a platform for clarity, curiosity, and freedom of thought, while also encouraging constructive criticism. We believe in the power of questions and that answers deserve the space to be independent, thorough, bold, funny, and honest. Founded by award-winning science journalist Maria Bolevich, Unknown Focus brings together authentic voices: researchers, thinkers, authors, innovators, intellectuals… from all corners of the globe.

“I want to offer content that is unique, trustworthy, and free for everyone. I also think it’s important to revise your opinion when you get new evidence.”

“My curiosity spans a wide spectrum: I love books, languages, and science, and I’m equally drawn to politics, particularly the far-reaching consequences of poor political decisions. It was this desire to create a space where these diverse interests could be explored that led me to launch Unknown Focus. I, too, feel the urge to do everything at once, to learn every unknown, but I also want to stay focused on what’s truly important. I also think it’s important to revise your opinion when you get new evidence. I want to offer content that is unique, trustworthy, and free for everyone,” says Maria.
