Dear fellow ECOLOG-ers,
Thought you'd be interested to read the story of an earth scientist and
post-doc
from the University of British Columbia, Janice Brahney, who is racing to
collect critical data on melting glaciers and water supply in the Columbia
River Basin:

As, I'm sure plently of you know, the Columbia River Basin supplies
freshwater for a total of 7 US states and much of southwestern Canada.
Janice needs to collect data now to disprove out-dated climate models
before the re-negotiation of the Columbia River Treaty and risk drought in
the region.
I'm the founder of the crowdfunding platform, Instrumentl
<https://www.instrumentl.com/>. We help women gain direct funds for their
research projects. I'm also a female researcher myself as are Instrumentl's
other two founders. Janice's story is important one and now it's our job to
make sure others know it as well as we do.
You can also check out Janice's crowdfunding page
<https://www.instrumentl.com/campaigns/janicebrahney/> and email me with
any questions.
All my best,
Angela
