Sociologist Uses Crowdfunding to Fund Antarctica Research Trip
Utah State University and iUTAH researcher Melissa Haeffner was interviewed by Utah Public Radio. During the inverview, Haeffner said crowdfunding is a great way to involve non-scientists in her research.
“From doing this, I see a demand from the public who want to see results of science and what scientists are doing. You know, they’re very interested in that,” Haeffner said. “And even though if they might not understand hypotheses and factor analysis they really want to know that people are doing science, what kind of questions people are asking, how they’re going about it and what’s coming from that research.”
