PetriDish: Crowdfunding for Science Projects

[ysabetwordsmith]

These are some new projects that caught my attention...

Successful Education for Heritage Language Learners

 

Heritage language learners (HLLs) are students with a family language

different from the majority language. I will investigate a school that has

successfully integrated HLLs to uncover what methods are leading to their

success.

 

Wolverine conservation through citizen science

 

Born in avalanche chutes, wolverines thrive in places few people tread.

Citizen scientists are helping us conduct a noninvasive survey of

wolverines, using hair and cameras to assess how highways affect gene

flow.

New Crowdfunding Project: "Bareback Ink"

[ysabetwordsmith]

I found "Bareback Ink" through a post over on LJ-asexuality which really excites me because it means folks are talking about crowdfunding in other venues, and more importantly, they are catching on to how crowdfunding can help creative people connect with niche markets serving topics that the mainstream ignores.

This play is about the relationship that develops between an asexual tattoo artist and a client. Okay, I have thousands of books in my house and I have not read this story before; I've seen very little that is even remotely like it. Allow me to gush about how incredibly awesome it is to find a story that new, that different. I don't care that it's a play and I'll probably never see it. I just care that somebody out there is breaking seriously new ground, and I want to encourage that.
