Thank you so much to everyone who was able to support this project. I'm so happy I was able to reach my funding goal. Since I still have 8 days left on this campaign, I decided to add a stretch goal of $2,500 (an additional $500). This additional money will allow me to attend a research conference to present my findings and learn about what other awesome research is happening in the field.

Unfortunately, I don't have enough funding support from my department to cover conference expenses, which is why I'm seeking your help. I'm planning to attend the Animal Behavior Society conference this year with an estimated cost of $900 (registration, flights and housing). While it's worth it to me to pay out of pocket to attend conferences, this can definitely be a financial burden. So any additional funding help I can get for this would be truly appreciated!

Thank you so much again for all your support!
