My project in the second crowdfunding-for-science extravaganza known as #SciFund has been fully funded--and beyond!

In fact, with generous donations, I am at 167% of my original goal ($1302 out of $780). (Update 5/22/12: $1616 or 208%!!) (Update 5/30/12: $$1779 or 229%!!)

Thanks to all you donors with great taste and foresight--clearly great things await for the genetics of crayfish and our understanding of this unique parthenogenetic creature, the Marmorkrebs or marbled crayfish.

Currently, the following beautiful, intelligent, and wonderful people have contributed to my Project, Crayfish Clone Wars. Thank you to all.
