Next two "Thank yous:"
John M: I now have the pleasure of thanking my Dad, John, for his support of my project. My Dad is a PhD physical therapy professor and I grew up admiring his academic accomplishments. Simply because he had one (not because he ever pressured me), I always just figured I'd end up earning a PhD some day ~ I remember thinking that thought from a very early age. More than anyone else, my Dad instilled in me the value of scholarship, and that's been one of the strongest guiding values of my life. I'm also pleased to announce I recently named an endemic Hawaiian moth in honor of John, Orthomecyna keoniae (Crambidae). If you'd like to see the paper, you can download it at

It's the second paper from the top.
Pres M: Pres was the chair of the biology department when I attended my undergraduate institution, Hamline University, in St. Paul, MN. Pres was an important figure in my education because he was my genetics instructor there, and I am now of course - among other things - teaching upper level genetics at my current school. Pres recently helped me develop a lab for my genetics course, and I really appreciate his help with that, along with his support of my project. Thank you, Pres!

Two more thank yous to my $50 donors!
Bob O:
Bob is a physics teacher at my old school in Maryland. During the two years we worked together, I really appreciated how consistently helpful, cheerful, and humorous he was, and how he consistently strives for excellence and expects it from others. Bob lived up to his reputation of being supportive of others by generously and enthusiastically contributing to my project. Thank you, Bob!
Brian J:
Brian is one of my uncles who lives in Hawaii. He has been an influence in my life largely in terms of inspiring my love of Hawaiian natural systems. From an early age, I sometimes joined him for things like hiking through Haleakala National Park, and constantly (annoyingly so, I'm sure) picked his brain. Brian is still a hugely helpful resource for all types of information and I rely on him often. Brian, thank you for supporting my project.
