With research grants becoming more and more difficult to obtain, experiment.com has provided a platform for researchers to crowd fund components of their experiments. TONMO member, @Sarah McAnulty is experimenting with this venue for her research at U-Conn to determine how the immune system in bobtailed squid determine which bacteria to keep and which need to be eliminated. To add a little fun and comradery to the serious effort, donors can choose to name an adult squid for a $10 donation and a juvenile for $20 (and of course there are other goodies for larger amounts). You will even get a picture of your namesake and updates on the research.
