What does flok stand for?

While at first glance "flok" seems like an acronym, we chose the name to evoke the flocks we see in nature. A flock is a community that moves; it goes somewhere. flok is an expression of our goal to support each other and make progress together. Our logo has four colors to underscore the diversity of our community, which includes different conditions that share a single goal: to continuously improve our care and accelerate scientific progress to benefit the entire flok. Within the larger flok, there are smaller floks: the PKU flok, the Propionic Acidemia flok, the MSUD flok, etc. As a collective—within our smaller floks and the overall flok—we work together to support each other and to better describe, define, and improve our lived experience.
