In plain words
Petridish.org is a crowdfunding platform designed specifically for scientific research projects. Launched in 2012, it allows researchers to raise funds directly from the public for their studies across various scientific disciplines. The platform serves scientists and science enthusiasts who want to support innovative research that might otherwise lack traditional funding sources. It stands out by focusing exclusively on scientific work rather than mixing it with other project types.

Hey HN! I went to an ATProto meetup last week, and as a burnt-out semi-academic who hates academic publishing, I thought there might be a cool opportunity to build on Octopus (https://www.octopus.ac/), so I got a bit excited over the weekend and built Octosphere. Hopefully some of you find it interesting! Blog post here: https://andreasthinks.me/posts/octosphere/octosphere.html
