48 Hours Left: Crowdfunding Amphetamines Research & Metrics to Date

Ethan Perlstein, as Princeton research fellow is crowdfunding his research on amphetamines. So far, he's raised raised $18,246 from 258 donors, and needs $6,754 to complete the fundraising.

This is one of the first hard science crowdfunding campaigns I've seen, and I believe if successful, can be a testament to the power of crowdfunding to support scientific research in the future.

The researcher has promised to provide regular updates on his research in an open-notebook fashion, and the preliminary metrics of the crowdfunding campaign may represent the diligence with which he is already assessing his efforts.
