[open-science] Funding

[Laura James]

There's already at least one in operation - http://www.petridish.org/
which says "Petridish lets you fund promising research projects and
join
first hand in new discoveries.

   - World famous researchers post projects and expeditions that need your
   help to get off the ground.
   - Each project has a minimum threshold it must hit in pledges, or it
   will not be funded.
   - Backers in successful projects join the team and get insider rewards
   such as:
      - Early access to news about progress and findings, souvenirs from
      the field, acknowledgements in journals, naming rights for new
discoveries,
      or the ability to join an expedition in person."


Best regards,

Laura
