I am a professor of Entomology at a major university on the East Coast. I work on insects important in agriculture, specifically insects that are pests of cotton and soybeans. I run a research and Extension program that seeks to emphasize principles of integrated pest management (IPM).
Okay...this crowd-funding attempt did not work, at least not at the funding level we were requesting. I am going to move forward with the investigators and others to develop this mobile app with other sources of funding. I still feel that it is needed and that we can put together a very nice tool.
