Dear earthworm friends,
Just to give you an update about the earthworm crowdfunding project. We just reached 77% of our funding goal ($5000) but there are only 11 days to go.
Lately, this little animal has been gathering friends all around the world! Check the latest story on Newsweek:

We have some rewards for our backers and exclusive content (about how earthworms can help to track humans in the rainforest). We also updated some of the lab notes, and please check our website at:

If possible, contribute and please spread the word, every single dollar can make a huge difference.
Thank you for your attention
The volcanic earthworm team
