Attributions
Even though we performed most of our scientific research ourselves, we received a lot of help from others. As a starting group with nothing, this project would have been impossible if it wasn't for our supporters! There are no words to describe our gratitude for your help and resources but there are words for sharing all our partners and sponsors out loud:
