A huge thank you to everyone who has supported this research. You are all so greatly appreciated :) We've still got $2470 to raise in just six days! We are definitely on the home stretch, but we still need your support to spread the word and help bring this project fully funded. In the meantime, follow our lab notes for project updates! It's also where I'll be documenting this journey.
