User talk:Daniel Mietchen/Proposals/SciFund Challenge May 2012

From [Anthony Salvagno research.iheartanthony.com] (surprisingly even though I have contributed to wikipedia a bunch, I've never signed up for an account):
 * Have you heard of Science Exchange? They may be able to link you to suitably equipped MRI labs around the world if you don't have any in mind.
 * As a fellow open scientist (open notebook scientist I presume) I would like to see more explanation on what you plan on contributing openly so others would be enticed to contribute. Any time I've ever talked about my research the most engaging part of my talk is when I say it's completely open in real-time. Plus it would give us some solidarity!
 * I think you should try to expand on some of the stuff you have described and make it more general. For instance, "For this reason, studies of pathological fossils stand to benefit disproportionately more from non-invasive means of investigation than do studies of more commonly available forms" Saying what other studies do (like smash them to pieces) and what you want to do (MRI scans) would be very clear and easy to understand. Do people smash fossils to study them? Maybe chip them?
 * I think your best title is your last choice "What's wrong with your fossil?" Otherwise, how about this for a title: "A 3D look into the past." Hmm? Hmm?
