I am Gonzalo Ferreira. I am an assistant professor in the Department of Dairy Science.
I'm originally from Argentina and I work in the area of Dairy Management.
My name is Daniel Homa.
I am a senior research associate at the Material Science and Engineering Department.
I currently work under Dr. Gary Pickrell.
I found out about this Subvension Fund when I was starting here at Virginia Tech with many of the orientations.
I found it on the website and I'm very thankful that I did because it helped, it helped us out a lot.
It allowed us not only to publish it but to publish it in a form that everybody can view
I thought it was a pretty neat idea to, to have the open access and be able to be open to the whole world.
Without that funding we would struggle to be able to do an open access because It's a, you know, unfunded project.
There's no direct funding for that and we believe it's important to publish that work.
I would absolutely recommend this.
It's an opportunity for us, for new assistant professors, so yes, why not?
I would recommend it to everybody. I already have.
So, I've already told all the people that I know that they can use this and I hope that they take the opportunity.
It's a wonderful opportunity.
Thanks for the opportunity and hopefully there would be more of this in the future.
Thank you, I really do appreciate it, I mean
I don't know how much I can say thank you for the Subvension Fund and the Libraries, too..
I know it's not on topic, but the VT Libraries are fantastic and they make my job possible.
