This is cool but I would have liked to see something in the description about why crowdfunding is needed when the fundraising target is pocket change for 1) any of the listed "public supporters", 2) Johns Hopkins. Surely the incentive is there for any of these parties to want to attach their name to such ground breaking research. If part of the purpose is "show the public that they can contribute to science through crowdfunding", then that is legit and they should make it clear. Or maybe it's too controversial for JHU or NIH to fund, etc. edit: additionally, a better explanation of what the funds will be used for would set a good precedent.
