List of Molecular Reality Corporation slogans
This is a list of the slogans of Molecular Reality Corporation: the taglines and mottos that the company and its game, Epic Quest Bio, have used, with their exact wording. The oldest on record, "join our epic quest", comes from an online promotion of 2021. Since August 19, 2026, the front page of the company's websites has carried one sentence and nothing else: "everybody's racing to build the brain, we're building the eye." The company's trademark line, Biology Is Just Beginning, appears under its wordmark.

Notes on individual slogans
Biology Is Just Beginning
The line sits under the company's double-helix wordmark with a small trademark sign, in colorways that include red with black and the pale blue and green used on the current front page.[1] On the front page, the logo's alternative text spells it "Biology is Just Beginning", with a lower-case "is".[9]
The brain and the eye
Between August and September 2026 the sentence was written at least three ways. On the front page it has no capital letters and a comma in the middle. An August version has "brains" and "eyes" and puts "solve all diseases" in quotation marks. A fact sheet of September 19 splits it into two sentences.[9][1] In company materials a column headed "the brain" names five artificial intelligence companies, among them Isomorphic Labs and Lila Sciences, and Molecular Reality sits alone in a second column, headed "the eye".[11]
Wet labs
In July 2026 company materials proposed building "a billion wet labs". By September the figure was ten billion, more than the number of people on Earth, and Kemmish approved the line as a bare claim, with no years attached.[1]
"Somehow"
"Your home becomes a healthcare fortress somehow" was reviewed before use. A reviewer noted that the sentence read oddly. Kemmish kept it word for word, "somehow" included.[1] A related line in company materials explains the two audiences for a home sensor: "Geeks will want it because it turns their toilet into a high-throughput single-molecular sensing lab. Normies will want it because it turns their home into a healthcare fortress."[1]
Syllables
The second name for the company's goal came with its reason attached: "I came up with Universal Molecular Streaming because it's fewer syllables."[5][a]
Mottos of characters
In the members' inbox the Quartermaster, one of the company's fictional characters, opens with "Corpspeople, stand at attention!", and the persona Jeanne d'Arc titled her first post "Ecrasez l'infame!", after Voltaire's motto.[12][13] The company's quiz show, JeoPOREdy!, is subtitled "Where Pores Meet Their Match".[1] Keltar, who narrates the field guide, describes the company's staff as "A small team, a serious bench, and an unusual amount of green felt."[8]
