Off the beaten track...
Clarisse Faria-Fortecoëf
This is what could characterize the experience of Ethan Perlstein - reported in the electronic newsletter published by the French Embassy in the United States of February 21, 2014 – who after several years of a classic scientific career, realized that to carry out his project, to have his own team, he had to look outside the academic world.
Thus, he will launch a first campaign through the RocketHub crowdfunding to fund a set of experiments on the effects of the addiction to the methamphetamine and collect in only seven weeks, about $25,460 from 407 donors.
This was enough to cover three months’ salary for his technician in his lab at Princeton.
A key to the success of this campaign and the one that will follow, is the ability of this young scientist to popularize science and to interact with the public, while encouraging his peers to engage in the project.
