Only 6 days left... Help us finish strong.

Sooo....we are now 90% funded.. only $615 dollars to go. Let's all do one last push to see if any friends or family members are feeling left out!

Tomorrow I will follow up with a post about the new "Nile crocs in Florida" paper that's getting so much press!

About This Project

Why did alchemists hang crocodiles from the ceilings of their shops? Why did ancient Egyptians worship crocodiles? We noticed that crocodiles can recover from extreme injury.. What is the source of this resilience? New studies suggest that crocodiles have a unique ability to fight infection. Become a backer and help us sequence genes of crocodiles and discover the source of the myth of the Apothecary Crocodiles. There's a good chance we'll find some new tools in the fight against human diseases.

Blast off!
