What environmental factors control lichen form throughout the redwood canopy?

yahoo!!

I learned about your project from your mom and I can't wait to learn more about it as you progress. From one Slug to another, keep reaching for the sky!

May I just say . . . I LOVE my friends and family.

Sam, Thanks for pursuing knowledge in a way that preserves in the only sentient preserve in the known universe.. How can so many people take our cosmic coincidence for granted? You clearly don't. Love Frank

I am so impressed by this, Sam!

We're lichen your research!

Sam, great video....clear, thorough, and not too technical. Good luck on your project, and please be careful. My love to you and Mark, your Mom and Dad. lkh

Way to go Sam! Thrilled to hear about your work, and looking forward to discussing the results! Joel Ryan and co.

Sounds like an epic project! Keep it up!

Sam - my friends are lovable luddites. I put in $20.00 from Linda Duryea and now Maggie Locke has sent me a $35.00 check. So I added them in! Congratulations. You have always been my boy who reached for the sky. xoxoxoxxoxox

Great work Sam!

Great work, Sam! Here's a little boost from Mike & me-- let us know how the work goes!!

Hi honey; I just put in 20$ from Linda Duryea. She doesn't trust the interweb, so she will pay me back. xoxoxooxox

Have fun with this dream project! I look forward to seeing more of your photos.

Dear Samuel -- this is an amazing project and we, at Hippo Reads, would like to support you in finding more funders. I'm the editor of a magazine that supports turning academic research into story (www.hipporeads.com). We would be happy to promote your campaign via our site and social media networks if you would be interested in writing a short piece on your research and why it's important? We can have it up next week. If you are interested, please email me at brenda@hipporeads.com. And good luck!

Sounds like a great project - I heart macrolichens!

Hi Mark, This sounds like a really impressive project and quite a feat to do. Louise and Seymour Friedman

Good Luck Sam! I am looking forward to hearing what you find out, and climbing some trees with you one day. Come visit in NYC one day soon. Cuz Jeff

Crossbows + tree climbing + lichens = no brainer :)

Don't forget to get some good shoes too!

Proud of you!

I am very Impressed, This summer Krista and I will be back from Japan for a while and will be making our way north, we would love to go tree climbing. We love you -Carl and Krista

YES! YES! YES! What wonderful work Sam! I knew the day would come that I would feel like going to work for a former student! Look up Matt Ritter at Cal Poly SLO. He did some similar work in Eucalyptus canopies and might have some insight or advice. All the best! John Santos

Sam you are awesome! Keep up the good work!

Keep up the good work Sam!

Good luck!

Sounds exciting! Please come visit us now that you have a car. Dedra and David

🌲! Excited to follow along and see what you find!

You are amazing, Sam! Best of luck to you in this exciting journey! Love, Joanne & Steven

I've always wished that more scientists studied lichen. Studying lichen is really difficult. You're doing a great thing. 😊

You go, Sam! Always proud to have been one of your teachers ... (~:

Sam - you're amazing! So cool to see this video!! ps. I have gotten SO into GoT! We may need to go on another filming location adventure soon. I will care MUCH more now!

Go, Sam!

Best of luck, Sam!

This project sounds amazing Sam. It's awesome that you found a way to mesh your love of climbing and the outdoors with your studies in school. Please take me on random outdoors adventures when we next meet!

Good luck Sammer!
