Lichenology Class for Beth
Donation protected
Let's help Beth attend Lichenology at Oregon State University (BOT 46). Beth already has B.S. in Biology and has found her niche with Lichen. Everywhere she goes she collects and works to identify it. She has collected guidebooks and has studied everything that is available on-line. She has an impressive collection of specimens and knowledge that qualifies her as an amateur lichenologist. She is drawn to lichen because there is so much yet unknown and undiscovered and her autism has driven her to dive deep into this ""lichenized fungi". Beth would love to study under the best, Professor Bruce Mc Cune. Professor Mc Cune holds the Acharius Medal for lifetime achievement in lichenology. With this course, she will learn under his graduate student in an on-line course. Beth will have an opportunity to increase her knowledge and share it. She has a dream to do a pop-up lichen identification museum to educate the public about this mysterious set up in various locations. Her degree prevents her from obtaining student aid so let's make it happen. The cost is $1500 and I'm sourcing for $2500 to cover books and fees. Thank You!
