Notes for this episode:
Current funding level: $548.50
Minimum funding met! We are now covering cost. So instead of paying to work, we’re working for free!

Next funding level: $1,000. This level focuses on equipment improvement and covering costs of additional research material. For example, we spent over $350 this month alone on books, OVER minimum funding.

Georgy recruited some help this time around. Take some time to browse these great image libraries, curated by friends of the show!
