We're 20% there - thank you!
We're so grateful to everyone who's backed this Firefly Genome Project! We've just reached 20%, and we're thrilled to be approaching our goal of revealing fireflies' genetic blueprint.
Here's a fun photo of members of the FIRE (Firefly International Research and Education) team in the Smoky Mountains - it makes chasing fireflies for living look pretty romantic, right? Yet we're used to trading many sleepless nights, soggy boots, ticks & mosquito bites for these rare moments of scientific exhilaration that shine through.
We're glad you've joined us on this newest adventure to advance firefly science!
