The Sample Exchange Story
Scientists are always scrounging around for money. We realized we didn't have enough grant funding to organize yet another expensive sample collection trip to Alaska, to get permafrost samples. A researcher from the U. of Alaska helped us out by collecting samples and sharing them with us for free! How wonderful!
You can say with Sample Exchange, we are simply paying it forward!
