Restarting the experiment

Good story from This American Life on a collaboration between a scientist and a music professor who experiment with sound waves as a means of killing cancer cells. (It’s an engrossing story that I highly recommend). As the story progresses, the narrator describes several experiments that show promising results, but because of the high stakes, they need to keep running tests under different conditions, etc. Eventually, they run out of money and so that, among other factors, brings their collaboration to an end.

As the story was wrapping up, I couldn’t help but wonder if anyone suggested Kickstarter as a way to re-start it?
