THE SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH PROGRAM


        
        Some of the ways in which you can help.


      Our new peyote conservation research project concerning peyote in over-the-counter meds needs a fraction collector and associated items for HPLC.
     Details are available on Robert LeBlanc’s gofundme proposal.

           1)  Donate tax-deductible contributions to help us fund our projects.
                Even a single $25 check means a lot when enough people agree that what we are doing is valuable.
                We can now accept contributions via PayPal in almost any currency.

           2)  Donate your surplus lab equipment.
                We would welcome an ultrasonicator, handheld homogenizors, pipettemen, pH meters, glassware, analytical grade reagents, a GC-MS, chromatography equipment (hplc, lc and tlc), spectrophotometer, cuvettes, a centrifuge, rotors, pipettes and any other items of helpfulness in performing isolations and analysis.

           3)  We are in need of a greenhouse or greenhouses.
                We already have part of the funds for this project in hand.

           4)  Donate your surplus greenhouse supplies.
                We would find good use for greenhouse frames, fans, poly panels, fasteners, lighting systems, benches, seedling trays, soil, perlite, pumice, pots and other propagation supplies.

           5)  Volunteer your expertise and services concerning hplc and gc-ms work to help lessen our ongoing research costs. 

           6)  Volunteer your time and services assisting with library work to help reduce our ongoing costs -- if you have access to a good library system.

           7)  Volunteer to help keep us up to date and informed in areas where you are currently active or have other pertinent local knowledge.  

           8)  Spread the word.
