    Happy to contribute! Any way you could spread the word about a fundraiser to take HS kids into the field for hands-on experience?? This is being done by one of the BEST teachers I know. She's amazing, truly. In any case, happy sciencing!! https://www.gofundme.com/studentscience

    In memory of Dave Hopkins, Beringian paleoecologist extraordinaire, who once spotted me $50 to tide me over during an Alaskan field season. Good luck, Mario!

    Have a great field season, Mario! You only need around 120 more backers. You'll get there.

    I think my colleague Jonathan Holmes did some ostracod work on Wallywash Great Pond, ages ago. So really great to hear about exciting new research being undertaken in Jamaica. Good luck!!
