A minimilist at heart, I think I would be a good fit for this project. You already have a good base, an amazing foundation. Lots of good ideas & associations can be pulled from themes around forests/wildlife/research, etc. The challenge is making it simple & clear. I think i can help with that.
You'll get what you pay for, and i think to keep it clear & simple you need a designer that can distill a complex idea down to a beautiful, simple, clear logo mark. I'd love to work with you
