Crowdfunding Science on Experiment.com

Note: I had a few problems with my website this week, everything survived in the backups except this post! So here’s a very simply quick summary of what I wrote about…

Up until recently, what crowdfunding has really lacked is a website dedicated to science. So I was pretty excited to discover Experiment.com. I’ve written a few times about crowdfunding for conservation, and the variety of projects being funded.

This website, I think takes things to the next level. After a quick peruse, here’s a few of my favorite conservation and ecology themed projects!
