On the subject of my Patreon, I want to create a space where people can follow along with the myriad spider related projects I'm working on, research, husbandry notes, photos etc, but I also want to make it into a forum of sorts where people can feel free to ask me about stuff.
I don't profess to be an expert in anything, but I have devoted a large chunk of my life to learning about the creatures I am so obviously utterly obsessed with. I want to share the things I have learned & continue to learn, and share the things I create too.
The tiers I have set up are super cheap- just £2 or £4.50 per month (you can read about what these get you here:- patreon.com/scienteafic?fa…). All of the proceeds are currently going towards an opportunity to join a research trip to Ecuador in 2021 which is a HUGE deal for me.
Beyond funding the Ecuador trip, the money goes straight back towards everything that happens in the spider room, will be being used in future for podcast things, & anything that's left over will go towards tuition fees as I will be applying to go back to university in 2021 too.
Going back to uni to do my Masters has been something I have wanted to do since I graduated with my BSc back in 2009, so the fact I am at a point in my life now where I can finally make this a reality is amazing & SO exciting! So there you have it. That's what my Patreon is for!
If you read all of that, THANK YOU... here's your reward! Fatso having a munch on another locust that he technically wasn't supposed to have 😏
