    I have been following this a bit through the Mountaineers Naturalists. Thanks for doing, as the slogan says, "awesome science that needs funding." Best wishes for a very successful 2018 season!

    Hope you meet your goal and my little bit helps. After seeing your pledge to my project I was able to find you, and equally love the work your lab does. I found many parallels between you and I had to support your project, Meera: I too was formerly a teacher and I work with Earthwatch Citizen science on our project. I found that inspiring that we both jumped into the world of academia to pursue a PhD and make sure to incorporate the public into our work! Good luck.
