What is #SciFund?
From the #SciFund website:
The #SciFund Challenge is a grand experiment in science funding. Can scientists raise money for their research by convincing the general public to open their wallets for small-amount donations? In more and more fields – from music to dance to journalism – people are raising lots of money for projects in precisely this way. The process is called crowdfunding. The first round of the #SciFund Challenge showed that this model can work for funding scientific research. Now, let’s take it to the next level!
My #SciFund project is: ‘The face of pain’
I am finishing my #SciFund Project video as we speak!
In the meantime, here is the project image:
