Good luck & cheers on this exciting project!

Looking forward to what you'll find with this project. Plus more plant genomes is always a good resource!

Wow Paige, this is really great progress!

Congrats! And good luck in The Falklands with your research. Cheers, +Ian

Good luck and I hope you get to take your core samples. Falklands look like a remarkable, if windswept and cloudy place.

Congratulations Paige! This is great! And like everyone, can't wait to hear what you find out.

I disagree completely with that last 'con' (only converge on popular topics)...people blog about what their interests are, whether popular or not. Yes, sometimes things happen that everyone will post/write about (e.g. diversity in academia, career advice for young scis, whatever). But most bloggers write about their own little obscure things more often than not. Popular blogs may cover only more popular things, but that's a little different.

Hope it's funded. I don't know if backers disqualify themselves as subjects, but I'd be happy to take the survey too.

Hi Paige, Hope this work gets funded/you can carry it out. As an aspiring 'real' blogger, I do think it's really important work to be done!
