"you can have people who are bad at science but are good at fundraising in public,"

You can also have people who are bad at science and are good at obtaining NIH grants. In my professional opinion, this characterizes a LOT of researchers out there. Which is the greater injustice?

Dis?claimer: I happen to think that I'm good at science and indeed I failed at a crowdfunding attempt.

Agreed! I was following closely to your efforts to see what happened with "http://www.indysci.org/". I hope your fundraising efforts turn out well in the future.
