+            <p className="text-emerald-200">
+              Ranger is the gateway to decentralized science, bridging citizen participation with cutting-edge research. Built by Zach Ramsay, with a robust backend refined since 2016, Ranger empowers scientists and citizen scientists alike to collaborate, share, and monetize data—all without traditional intermediaries like the U.S. government. Ranger transforms the citizen science model, making institutions customers rather than gatekeepers.
