Congrats on the new launch! I'm so excited for you and your team. I genuinely believe that you are creating the platform by which many people, who otherwise may have been shut out, will get their chance to contribute to the sum of all knowledge. That's something very dear to me. I wish you and your team all my luck and support.

Love the new name! Microryza was very unwieldy. Edit: I'm getting an error when trying to signup with FB: "The change you wanted was rejected. Maybe you tried to change something you didn't have access to."

This is amazing, a real glimpse into what scientific research will look like in the future. One issue I see is actually motivating average people to back research - unlike Kickstarter, the reward is intangible (although much more worthwhile). I think this will gain a lot of traction amongst affluent and/or altruistic people, but building a true crowdfunding platform will be challenging, although certainly not unattainable. I'll pass this along to everyone I know, best of luck to your team!

Hi there, We've been working on a site that helps connect science projects with skilled (volunteer) developers. We're about ready to launch to the general public, and would absolutely love to connect and discuss how we can help each other out if you're interested. Please drop me an email at davedx@gmail.com Thanks, and great job!

As someone facing the first terrifying steps of funding their research program, I certainly hope this works out.
