Penang Seahorse Survey is FULLY FUNDED!

2 months ago if you had asked me about funds for my Final Year Project, I would have shrugged helplessly. Last year, a healthy lot of my seniors had to fork out their own money to pay for research. If not for the wonderful thing known as online crowdsourcing, I would have to do the same. I recommend experiment.com to whoever is in need of funds for research. They're very user friendly and setting up a page takes no effort at all.

First and foremost, I would like to thank the generosity of all my backers – Denny Luan, Andor Kiss, Dana Miller, Amy Collette, Michelle Lee, Rachael Kat, Diana Matthias, Rachel Quek Siew Yean, Carly Sturgeon, Marissa McMahan, and Phaik Lim ee ee. Some of them I know personally, others total strangers. I’m touched by all your contributions. With your kind donations in support of my crowdsourcing effort, my project and henceforth seahorse research in Malaysia will take a leap forward.

Not to forget, a shoutout to all the people who helped me share my project via Facebook! It has helped boost news about Penang Seahorse Survey tremendously in the past few weeks. I apologise if this has annoyed your newsfeed in that time period, but social media is one of best ways to promote to the masses free of charge nowadays.

I couldn’t have done it without the guidance and support of my supervisors. Thank you Dr Loh Tse-lynn for introducing Experiment.com to me. Your tireless reminders and encouragement has helped me improve so much. Thank you Adam for being honest and guiding me effectively at the same time. Thank you Dr Nurul for having faith in me and supporting my efforts thus far. I do have a lot more to learn and even more science work ahead before I complete my thesis.
