Welcome to the project!

Dear backers - welcome to the project! I am so very thankful for all the support you have given, and I am happy to announce that as of right this minute we have reached 17% of the goal with 42 backers!

It takes a village to fundraise and I appreciate so much the joint effort that has so far been put into this! The show of support has made me even more determined to push forward, than I already was. I look very much forward to continue this journey and I am so happy to share this with all of you.

As I am writing this, I am mentally preparing for next week, where I will be presenting the research that has become the foundation of the project you are all supporting now. I will be presenting it at the Zoo and Wildlife Health Conference 2019 in Kålmorden Zoo in Sweden. I will have a time slot of 11 minutes to show what we have been doing and I plan to also use a minute on this project, to spread the word and hopefully find even more amazing backers!

Stay tuned for more updates througout the project campaign, I am so stoked to be able to share it with you!

Below is a section of the conference programme - it seems a bit silly but I got really nervous and very excited when I saw my name there!
