Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

Our team started off with no money to send anyone to Boston, and no money for pipette tips! We ended up raising around $25,000 in ten weeks. We raised money by acquiring some corporate sponsorship with VWR. Then, we approached the deans and chairs of different departments within physical sciences and engineering at UCSC. We raised almost $12k this way. Finally, we ran a crowdfunding page that required actively sharing the page with friends, family, alumni of UCSC and the scientific community. From these efforts, we were able to develop skills required when starting and running a business, and the ability to accept financial setbacks and learn to prosper. We thank all our supporters on the Attributions page.
