Hey all,
I'm a neuroscientist at Loma Linda University with a lab focused on finding treatments for brain disorders like Alzheimer's disease, stroke and traumatic brain injury (my lab's publications are listed here:
www.behavioralneuroscience.org/publications). Given the current paucity of funding opportunities for science, I have decided to solicit individually-sourced micro-donations for everyday lab expenses to keep the lab running between funding acquisitions. I think that it could help my students wrap up various projects or generate some pilot data that we would ultimately use to acquire larger, peer-reviewed grants. The donators would know that they directly supported some actual scientific grunt-work in a specific lab by a specific scientist. I posted this in the newbies section last week and got some good advice along with enough BTC to purchase about 700 microscope slides (enough to complete about 1 project)... here is the thread:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=225440.msg2371327#msg2371327I would be happy to set up a "donations" page thanking individuals for helping to support our science - however, since the donations are anonymous, you would need to email me in advance of any donation to let me know your info.

Thanks!
