James Anderson, one of our regulars here (under the user name
jasperjones22) is a science grad student with a very common problem: lack of funding. Specifically, travel expenses to get to a conference.
So, for at least the first one, he's set up
a fundraiser at indiegogo.
Rewards are a certain amount of his brainpower, depending on how much you donate. Ten bucks, one science question answered. $500, you've got your own Hermione Granger. Except, you know, male. And hairier.
He doesn't need a lot. If, over the next 38 days, you can spare something, won't you help?
What other good crowdfunding/Kickstarter/indiegogo projects should we know about? These things change constantly.
