Updates from the Lab

Hello all of my wonderful backers!

Thank you so much for your support! This is a very exciting time for me. I have progressed from the planning to the doing stage of my project (though the planning never really stops).

Last week Dr. Jeanne Robertson, Emma Collosi, Nicole Looper, and I began the first round of DNA extractions (from the samples that were previously collected by Dr. Robertson).

 

This week, I will quantify the DNA we have extracted and do some additional extractions as well.

Thanks to your support, we have raised over 40% of the target amount and I have just over a month to make my goal a reality!

I have added some rewards with the hopes of encouraging people to contribute. For those of you who have already donated, you will receive a gift for your level of contribution. And of course, you can increase your pledge if there is a higher level you would like to reach!

Thanks again!

Maria
