Hi Andrea! Thanks! Now that you are a backer, you will see how the project unfolds. Engaging South Africans is certainly going to be a challenge, but I have a few ideas that I will try to articulate in a lab-note soon (you will be notified). Definitely open to other ideas though. Lets keep in touch. Thanks!
