Today is the last day of the Silence is the Enemy fundraising drive here at BioE - when I get my proceeds I'll send them along to Doctors Without Borders, probably along with a little extra, since I don't usually make an appreciable amount here at BioE. But I did notice a slight uptick in traffic this month, so thank you for the clicks! And don't forget about the issue of rape - these "awareness months" are supposed to raise awareness year-round, not make it seem like we've done our duty and don't need to think about it for the other 11/12 of the year (which I admit, I often do).
