3.1.3.2.1. "In many ways, Jaffe’s campaign is a model for any scientist considering crowdfunding their research, especially established academic researchers who have subsisted on government or foundation grants, and who haven’t spent years cultivating a fan base. In fact, Jaffe’s motivation for crowdfunding this project was difficulty in securing traditional sources of funding."

3.1.3.3.1. Dan Jaffe says he didn’t set out intending to go all rogue with his science. “What happened is I was getting discouraged,” he says. “I was starting to wonder whether anyone would even be allowed to ask these basic questions. So I went outside the system.”
3.1.3.3.2. "I’m sure this won’t go over well with the powers that be. It sounds like democracy and the free market in action to me."
