This seems like an incredibly worthy cause:

In addition it is directly connected to the mission of microBEnet in that this is a fundraiser for the work of Marc Edwards, He is a professor at Virginia Tech and one of the heroes of the Flint Water crisis and also an excellent “microbiology of the built environment” researcher. We and others (e.g., Amy Pruden, who works with Marc) have written about his work before here including:
- Interesting new paper on green building water systems
- Water Quality in Green Buildings
- Interesting and important new paper: Microbial composition of purified waters
- Probiotics for Plumbing?/
