You are invited to ask me anything!


Dear backers and other lab-note readers,

On Thursday April 16th, at 10:00 am PDT (7:00 pm SAST), I will be doing an AMA (Ask Me Anything) on reddit.

You are invited to join the conversation! You can do so by browsing to the URL below.

www.reddit.com/r/iAMA

There will be an online one-hour Q&A session starting at 10:00 AM PDT.

I will start a new thread at the above link titled: "I am a research scientist studying forest diseases, AMA!"

This is an attempt to digitally engage anyone who is interested.

I encourage everyone to participate in the conversation—ask questions and help answer others. However, this is an opportunity to contribute to the planning of this project! I welcome your feedback and would love to hear your ideas!

Questions do not have to be about the project. Feel free to ask me about my experiences with science communication (recently on NPR), bicycling touring, life as a grad student at OSU, my experience with experiment as a crowdfunding platform, or anything else that you would benefit from.

If you would like to participate, you will need to make an account on reddit. You can do so in the upper right of the first page (browse to: http://reddit.com/r/iama and look for this:

reddit is very minimialistic so don't worry about having an additional account somewhere, you wont receive unwanted emails. Here is some general information about commenting: http://www.reddit.com/wiki/commenting

Join the conversation and influence the project!

Thanks, I hope to hear from you Thursday!

About This Project

Phytophthora, the Greek term for "plant destroyer", is a group of plant killing microbes that threaten forests and agriculture around the world. More than 100 species have been discovered and between 100-600 species are estimated to remain unknown. Discovering new species improves research and regulations to protect our forest and agriculture systems. The native forests of South Africa are remarkably diverse and have not been surveyed for Phytophthora species. We want to survey the native forests for Phytophthora species with the help of the public!

Help us engage South African communities in science to discover new species! The purpose of this campaign is to raise support for a citizen science program that provides opportunities for South Africans to learn and participate in the scientific process! By backing this research you are supporting awesome research and helping hundreds of individuals participate!

Blast off!
