Hi Amanda - From 2 ape-researchers to another, we hope your crowd-funding pitch works!!!! We also worked with Leslie Knapp in Cambridge before she began at Salt Lake, so we have lots of reasons to support your work! Good luck, the orangs can use all the help they can get!

Amanda, Hope all is well and good luck raising the money! I'll repost for you and hopefully that'll help. However this comes at a cost. I demand that you refer to those goofy apes once as a monkey in my presents. Good luck! Cory

Thanks for all of your support Cory! I will refer to them once, and only once, as monkeys in your presents! ;-)
