Support My Fossil Intshp in Panama!
Donation protected
Many of you who know me, know that I've had a passion for paleontology since I was a kid and some of you got to see how excited I get talking about dinosaurs and other fossils first hand during the free behind the scenes tours I've given at the American Museum of Natural History over the years. Ive come a long way. Now, I ask for your help to achieve the next step of this great journey. I've currently been accepted to a research internship at the Florida Museum of Natural History ahead of going to graduate school this fall for my masters. The internship revolves around the Panama Canal, which is currently being expanded (
www.flmnh.ufl.edu/panama-pire/about-project/intro-and-goals/
). As layers of rock are being stripped away, fossils from the time in which the land bridge between North and South America were formed are being exposed and paleontologists, like myself, will be going there to study them.
However, as some of you know, I just recently came back to New York from teaching English in Japan for a year. I've been job hunting since my return but have had no luck finding anything. With a month to go before I am to move, I don't have much time to make the money necessary to get down to Florida, let alone my first months rent while finishing up my grad school applications and studying for the GRE. Please help fund my relocation to Florida.
All donations of $20 or more get a signed print of my latest work, "Silent wrath of the Taino." Get the Upsilon edition for $25. The prints will be sent out and the original painting on 18"x24" canvas will be going up for auction after the move.
Follow me @gryffons_lair for a look at the painting in progress and more of my artwork
