I'm waiting for payday so haven't donated yet- big dental bill this month .

So about ⅓ of the target raised in ⅓ of the time allowed to raise it. Hopefully, there'll be plenty more like me who will be donating but need to wait a week or so for funds to come in.

 

yeah, hasn't moved much in last couple days. This always seems to happen midway through. These things have their own strange cycle.

Fun fact. In seven days time, it will be the 5th anniversary of David publishing his epic on the PACE trial on the Virology blog website - re-read it here, https://www.virology.ws/2015/10/21/trial-by-error-i/

Arnold Alois Schwarzenegger is on the donor wall.

And he only donated $20!! What a miser.

My guess is that it isn't the Arnold Alois Schwarzenegger, given that in a previous year we've apparently had Michael Sharpe donate as well.

 

In which case if it's another, far less fortunate, Arnold Schwarzenegger, lets hope they don't see your comment Andy .

 

I have donated.

and that wasn't me!

 

@dave30th - a question

I recently received some post from Berkeley University. I get letters a couple of times a year. They're not bothersome but I would rather they saved the postage and added it to your campaign. I'm thinking if 500+ UK residents donate and all receive a couple of letters a year that postage from the US starts to add up. Although some people may want the letters.

Perhaps I am being spectacularly stupid but I didn't see a tick box saying not to add me to the mailing list. I'd love that postage and stationary money to go to your campaign instead.

 

Me too a while ago. Will have another shot when next paid.
