Funding

How is Discard Studies funded? By readers! We have a Paetron account where people can donate funds, from $1/month to a one-time donation of $50. We list those donors here. Many thanks for keeping Discard Studies in server fees and a small stipend for a graduate student co-editor. Other editors volunteer their work. In the future, we aim to pay writers for their work.
