I was not aware that researchers are turning to crowdfunding to fund their research. (This article provided the information that researchers are gathering donations from the general public to fund their research: https://www.nature.com/nature-index/news/how-to-crowdfund-your-research-science-experiment-grant). It is a great idea, but I know some people “look down” on those who ask friends and the general public for funds for a personal or professional reason. I am not certain I want to join in this funding trend. I will continue trying for grants.
