SARAH WILD: Researchers pick crowdfunding route as funds from state dry up

In the link below we are clear that, given the novelty of our research, it is difficult to obtain funding from more traditional (i.e. university) resources. While we do have unique and novel Late Pleistocene aDNA data, this is not yet published. And off course one needs at least one or two peer-reviewed publications to demonstrate the feasibility of new research and to provide confirmation that it is a viable longer-term research avenue.
