SciComm Stickers

tl;dr - Donate $2.50, get a sticker! Buy 4 get 1 free!

(GoFundMe requires a minimum donation of $5, so you'll get 2 stickers straightaway!)

Hey there! My name is Olivia, and I am a grad student who does astrochemistry research and has a passion for radio astronomy. When I'm not doing research, I enjoy sharing my love of astronomy and telescopes with others, especially through visits to K-12 classrooms, volunteering for Project Scientist  events, and lectures to audiences ranging from undergraduate students to the general public.

My goal in this GoFundMe campaign is to raise money to print stickers to give out when communicating science. These stickers feature a sketch I did of the Orion Nebula (one of the targets of my astrochemistry research) as well as contact information, namely my Twitter handle and website. These stickers will serve several purposes: [1] Who doesn't love getting astro swag?; [2] A reminder that the sky is not the limit; [3] referral to my Twitter, where I answer questions about my research area and share sketches of research articles I read or conference talks I attend; and [4] referral to my website, where I have information about radio astronomy, including telescopes around the world, internship opportunities, and a blog where I talk about everything from grad school to science.

A boatload of square stickers (2.75" by 2.75") costs about $50, including shipping. I'm a grad student with a family on a single income (childcare is expensive in SoCal), so I would appreciate your help in getting this project going. I have several talks on the East Coast near where I grew up this September, therefore I'm hoping to raise the money before I head back to PA so I can arrive stickers in hand.

As a thank you for your assistance, I will mail you a sticker for every $2.50 you donate. If you are eager to get more stickers for yourself or to share, I'll throw in an extra sticker for every $10 donated (i.e. buy 4 get 1 free). Please note that GoFundMe requires a minimum donation of $5, so you will get 2 stickers off the bat! 

If you make a donation and don't hear from me (I've never used GoFundMe before, so there might be a learning curve), drop me a line. You can find my contact info on my website .

Many thanks for your support!

Olivia
